All deaths of persons dying in the district and belonging
to other districts, and all deaths of non-residents occurring in
Public Institutions have been transferred to the various
districts to which they belonged.
The number of deaths of parishioners is 464 and the net
population is 44,439.
Last year this rate was 8.53 per 1,000.
Corrected Death-Rate 11.03 per 1,000. The value of a
Corrected Death-Rate is for purposes of comparison with other
districts and the country generally, and is obtained by using
a "Correction Factor" supplied by the Registrar General.
The Corrected Death-Rate signifies the Death-Rate which
would obtain in Hendon if the local age and sex distribution
were the same as that of the country generally.
The Corrected Death-Rate is rather higher than last
year—last year it being 9.01. Coupled with this fact nearly
20 per cent. of the deaths were of persons who had reached
the age of 70 years.
The highest rates are obtained in West Hendon and
Child's Hill and Cricklewood districts, and the lowest rates
dn Mill Hill and Golders Green districts.
The following shews the actual number of deaths which
have occurred in each locality and the Death-Rate.
