1.—GENERAL STATISTICS.
AREA—10,471 acres.
POPULATION.
It will be seen that the population is steadily increasing mainly
by migration into the area and at the 30th June, 1935, was
estimated as 146,720. The Registrar General's figure for the
same period is 134,643 and for comparison purposes it is on the
latter figure that the vital statistics are calculated. It is probable,
however, that my estimate of the population is nearer the truth
as it is based on the number of inhabited houses and an average
population factor per house, the latter being arrived at from
experience of the house distribution of the population throughout
the Borough.
