URBAN DISTRICT OF BROMLEY
(KENT).
Report of the Medical Officer of Health
for the Year 1898.
To the Chairman and Members of the Urban District Council
of Bromley.
March 21st, 1899.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present to you my Tenth Annual
Report, relating to the year ending December 31st, 1898.
VITAL STATISTICS.
For the purposes of statistics the population is always
calculated for the middle of the year. At the last census,
taken on April 6th, 1891, our population was 21,685, being an
increase since the previous census of 6,532. On the supposition
that the last intercensal increase will be maintained, the
population in the middle of 1898 may be approximately
estimated at 26,409.
The District comprises 4,706 acres, having a population
of 5-6 persons to the acre.
