Of the total 1,627, the deaths of people belonging to Public Institutions
amount to 474, leaving 1,153 occurring in the District proper:
deducting from this total 28 deaths which were caused through violence,
we get 1,125 as the corrected total for the District, and consisting of
549 males and 576 females.
