POPULATION.
As in previous Reports the population of St. Pancras is regarded as
stationary, and after correction and re-distribution is estimated as follows:—
Regent's Park Sub-District 37471
Tottenham Court „ 26509
Gray's Inn Lane „ 28028
Somers Town 33545
Camden Town ,, 14344
Kentish Town „ 96535
St. Pancras District 236432
Due to the many changes that have taken place in Somers Town, it is
highly probable that the above estimate is more or less unreliable, but there
is no means of adjusting the distribution of population in the Sub-Districts,
at this distance of time since the census.
MARRIAGES.
The number of Marriages celebrated in St. Pancras during the year was
2243, being 178 more than in the previous year, and 132 more than the
annual average of the previous ten years.
BIRTHS.
The number of births registered during the year was 7099, being 164 more
than in the preceding year, and 124 less than the annual average during the
preceding decennium.
The 237 births in public institutions having been re-distributed according to population, the number of births and the birth-rate of each of the Sub-Districts and of the District were as follows:—
| Sub-Districts. | Number of Births. | Birth-rate. |
|---|---|---|
| Regent's Park | 1,060 | 28.3 |
| Tottenham Court | 669 | 26.4 |
| Gray's Inn Lane | 903 | 33.7 |
| Somers Town | 1,059 | 33.1 |
| Camden Town | 484 | 33.7 |
| Kentish Town | 2,924 | 30.3 |
| St. Paneras | 7,099 | 30.0 |
| London | 133,715 | 30.5 |
