This gives a birth-rate of 18.7 per 1,000 of the population,
a decrease of 2T per 1,000 on the rate of the preceding year, and
the lowest rate on record.
The average rate for the previous 10 years was 21.6.
The birth-rate for North Southgate was 17.0, and that for
South Southgate was 19.2.
The birth-rate for England and Wales was 23.9, which is
0.1 above the rate in 1912, but lower than the rate in any other
year on record Compared with the average of the previous 10
years the birth-rate in 1913 showed a decrease of 2.4 per 1,000.
MORTALITY.
General Mortality and Death-rate.—The number of
deaths which occurred in the District during last year was
304. To these must be added the deaths of 61 "residents" who
died in Institutions outside the district—13 in Edmonton Union;
7 in Napsbury Asylum; 6 in the Passmore Edwards Hospital,
Wood Green, 13 in various London Hospitals, and 22 else
where; whilst the deaths of 59 "non-residents," 55 of whom
died in the Metropolitan Asylums Board Hospital at Winchmore
Hill, must be subtracted, leaving a nett total of 306 deaths
belonging to the District.
The crude or recorded death-rate was therefore 81 per
1,000 of the population. In order to obtain the corrected deathrate
for the purposes of accurately comparing the death-rate with
that of other Districts, it is necessary, in addition to the above
corrections, to take into consideration the age and sex distribution
of the population.
The "factor for correction" for this District is now 1.0288.
The corrected rate is obtained by multiplying the crude or
recorded death-rate by this factor.
