8
Deaths.
The deaths registered in the district during the year were 504,
of which 252 were males and 252 females, giving a crude deathrate
of 8.17. To these must be added 151 deaths of Enfield residents
registered outside the district, and from this total must be
subtracted 65 deaths of non-residents occuring in the district,
which brings the nett number of deaths to 590 for the year, giving
a recorded death-rate of 9.57. We have, however, to suppose that
the age and sex constitution of the population of Enfield is identical
with that of England and Wales as enumerated at the census of
1911, for which purpose the recorded death-rate must be multiplied
by a "factor for correction" supplied by the Registrar-General,
viz.:1.0348, and this gives the standardized death-rate of 9.90.
