VITAL STATISTICS.
Males. | Females. | Total. | |
---|---|---|---|
Legitimate | 759 | 624 | 1383 |
Illegitimate. | 21 | 17 | 38 |
780 | 641 | 1421 |
The birth rate per 1,000 of the population was thus 11.85.
The following list shows the nonulation. number of births, and
the corrected birth rate per 1000 during the past five years:—
Year. | Population. | No. of Births. | Birth Rate. |
---|---|---|---|
1932 | 127,140 | 1666 | 13.10 |
1933 | 125,700 | 1499 | 11.91 |
1934 | 123,430 | 1454 | 11.78 |
1935 | 121,690 | 1493 | 12.26 |
1936 | 119,900 | 1421 | 11.85 |
On page 28 will be found a table showing the population,
number of births and birth rate for each year since 1892—a period
of 44 years.
The figures below show how, during the five-year period, the
birth rate in Leyton has compared with corresponding rates in the
Great Towns, in London, and in England and Wales.
It is evident that during each of the five years, the Leyton birth rate has remained at a lower level than in any of the other three comparative areas.
