ENFIELD LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH.
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH'S
ANNUAL REPORT,
Gentlemen,
During the year 1888 there were registered the births of 521
boys and 415 girls, a total of 936 births. The total number of deaths
was 462, making an addition to the population by excess of births over
deaths of 474. I estimate the present population of the parish at not
much short of 24,000. Taking this as the basis, the birth-rate was 39
per thousand, and the death-rate 1925 per thousand; the latter is
higher than it has ever been before in my experience. The death-rate
of the last five years was 14 8, 15-16, 17 5, 16 48, and 16-34.
The deaths were distributed among the different ages as follows:
