Births.—The number of berths, 2,320, is the highest recorded
in the Borough, being 235 more than the total recorded in 1936.
The birth-rate of 14.9 per thousand of population also shows an
increase over the rates in the previous two years and on this occasion
is equal to the birth-rate for the whole of England and Wales.
In 1934 the birth-rate for Ealing was higher than that for the
country as a whole, but with this one exception the birth-rate for
Ealing has always been below the general birth-rate. A table
showing the birth-rates in recent years is to be found on this page.
