comparing the death-rates of different Districts, allowance
should be made for these variations in the composition of the
populations concerned.
The so-called " factor for correction" in the case of
Finchley is about 1.05, the sex and age distribution obtaining
in England and Wales as a whole being taken as a standard.
In other words, the sex and age-distribution of the population
in Finchley slightly favours a low mortality, and the DeathRate
Corrected for Age and Sex-Distribution would be
13 2x 1.05 = 13.8.
Recorded Death-Rate of Each Sub-District :—
| Number of Deaths. | Rate per 1,000 of Population. | |
|---|---|---|
| East Finchley | 142 | 14.7 |
| North Finchley | 91 | 15.7 |
| West Finchley | 76 | 10.7 |
| Whetstone | 29 | 9.3 |
