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
death-rate corrected for age and sex-distribution would be
9.9 × 1.05 = 10.4.
Recorded Death- Rate of each Sub-District:
Number of Deaths. | Rate per 1000 of population. | |
---|---|---|
East Finchley | 132 | 11.9 |
North Finchley | 66 | 9.7 |
West Finchley | 66 | 7.6 |
Whetstone | 21 | 9.6 |
