From this Table it will be seen that the Greenford Ward
has the biggest acreage and also the largest population, with
15,244 persons, with the Grange Ward following with 15,040 persons.
The population of Greenford has increased during the intercensal
period by 13,931 or to twelve times its previous size. An increase
of 4,664 persons is shown in the Grange Ward, about 3,000 being
accounted for by the houses erected by the Council in that area.
Northolt and Greenford are the only Wards in which the male
population is in excess of the female population. The number of
females per thousand males over the whole district is 1,193. The
Manor Ward is the only Ward not showing an increase in population,
the population having decreased by 117. This is due to the fact
that the whole of the area of the Manor Ward had been developed
before 1921 and the reduction in the population would be accounted
for by the reduction in the average size of the family and by reason
of families living in overcrowded conditions securing better
accommodation.
