General Death Rate.
The nett General Death Rate for the year is 10.4 per
1,000 persons living, this is lower than it has been for five
years, excepting last year when it was exceptionally low only
8.4.
It is hardly fair to compare the Death Rate for one year,
in a District such as this is, with a comparatively small population,
with that of a larger District whose circumstances
materially differ. The presence of an institution such as
at Twyford Abbey, often considerably affects the Death Rate
in such a comparatively small community.
There were actually 19 deaths registered in the District
18 males and only 1 female, and of those, 12 occurred at Twyford
Abbey Home, all males only this sex being admitted
to the Institution.
The following table shows the number of deaths for each
month throughout the year:—
