General housing condition of the District.
The total number of houses in the district is 4002, divided as
follows:-
Edgware 344.
Little Stanmore 482.
Great Stanmore 437.

The number of working class houses is 2069. There were 49 new
houses erected for the working class during the year and there are
191 in course of erection.
Population.
The population of this district has remained practically
stationary, owing to so many factories having been closed, and as
new houses have been already erected, the situation is easier.

district as follows:-

Great Stanmore 50.
Harrow Weald. 40.
