Deaths.
During the year there were 685 deaths assignable to the
district, 302 males and 383 females. This number gives a crude
death-rate of 10.0 per 1,000 of population and a standardised
death-rate of 9.1 per 1,000 of population. The standardised
death-rate is calculated by multiplying the crude death-rate by
what is known as the factor for correction, 0.914, a figure which
when multiplied into the crude death-rate gives a death-rate
which would occur if the population in Ealing had the same kind of
age and sex distribution as the whole of the population of England
and Wales. This standardisation enables the death-rate of one
district to be more accurately compared with another which differs
from it in the proportion of the sexes and the number of persons
in the various age-groups.
The death-rate is low compared with those for England and
Wales, the Great Towns and London.
