Legitimate infants per 1,000 legitimate live births 23.81
Illegitimate infants per 1,000 illegitimate live births 0.00

Comparability Factor.
To make approximate allowance for the way in which the sex and
age distribution of the Borough population differs from that for England
and Wales as a whole, the Registrar-General has issued the following
comparability factors for Leyton.
Area comparability factor for births 0.98
Area comparability factor for deaths 0.88
These factors, when applied to the crude rates, produce the following
adjusted rates :—
Live births 11.50
Deaths 11.29
