1.—GENERAL STATISTICS.
AREA—10,370 acres.
POPULATION.
It will be seen that the population is steadily increasing
mainly by migration into the area and at the-30th June, 1936,
was estimated as 155,800. This estimate 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. The
Registrar General's figure for the same period is 140,650 and
for comparison purposes it is on the latter figure that the vital
statistics are calculated.
