COMPARATIVE STATISTICS.
The Registrar-General has forwarded provisional figures relating to the country as a whole and to London, enabling comparisons to be made as follows:—
| Birth-rate per 1,000 population | Death-rate per 1,000 births. | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| From diarrhoea, etc., under 2 years | Total deaths under 1 year | |||
| Live | Still | |||
Annual Death Rate per 1,000 of Population.
| All Causes | Whooping Cough | Diphtheria | Influenza | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
The following table gives the number of births and deaths (registered)
sub-divided into the four Wards of the Borough. It should be remembered
that births are only those which occurred in Edmonton of residents; these
are registered in Edmonton. Births which take place outside the Borough are
not included; this fact accounts for the difference between these figures and
those supplied by the Registrar-General. The deaths include those taken
place outside the Borough, the information being given quarterly by the
Registrar-General.
