Leyton Uran District Council.
ANNUAL HEALTH REPORT
FOR 1914,
by
ALFRED BALL, M.D., D.P.H.,
Deputy Medical Officer of Health.
The general characteristics of the District and of its inhabitants
having been outlined in previous reports, it is unnecessary
to repeat them here.
ASSESSABLE AND RATEABLE VALUE.
The present assessable value for general district purposes is
£509,474 7s., and a rate of 1d. in the £1 produces £1,980.
For poor rate purposes the rateable value is £542,120 10s.,
and 1d. rate produces £2,097.
AREA, INHABITED HOUSES, POPULATION.
The district has a total area of 2,594 acres ; at the end of June
it contained 23,602 houses,of which number 361 were uninhabited.
The census population divided among the inhabited houses
gave an average of 5.63 persons per house.
On this basis our population at the middle of the year totals
130,847 persons.
The Registrar-General's estimate for the middle of the year
1914 is 131,224.
As pointed out in former reports, the Registrar-General has
previously estimated the population on the assumption that the
rate of increase during 1901 - 1911 has continued; but in view of
the fall in the rate of natural increase since 1911, and an increase
in the loss by migration, a new estimate has been made for the
middle of 1914 based upon the returns of births, deaths and
migration.
