The Population of the Chislehurst Urban District is estimated
to have been 9,110 at the middle of 1914. This is an increase of
139 on the estimated population for 1913, and 444 on the population
of the district at the Census of 1911.
Births and the Birth-rate.—There were 172 births registered
in the district, all of them belonging to it, and four births were
transferred to the district from outside, making the nett births 176
(79 males and 97 females) and the Birth-rate 19.3. This is the
highest birth-rate since 1910, when there were 163 births and a
Birth-rate of 19.5.
Deaths and the Death-rate.—There were 61 deaths registered
in the district giving a crude death-rate of 6.7, which, corrected
by the factor for the district, gives the slightly higher standardised
rate of 6.8, comparing very favourably with the same rate both for
the whole of England and Wales (13.7), and for the 145 Smaller
Towns of England and Wales (13.1). There were 19 deaths to be
transferred to the district of residents who had died outside it
(seven in the Union Infirmary, Bromley, seven in local Hospitals
near, and the remainder chiefly in London Hospitals), and 1 death
to be transferred away from the district, making the nett number
of deaths 81, 35 males and 46 females, and the nett Death-rate 8.8,
compared with a rate of 7.5 in 1913 and 1912 and 8.8 in 1911.

epidemic diseases, viz.:—
Diarrhoea and Enteritis (under 2 years) 0

and 0.69 in 1911.
