The more correct method in this case is to take the
number of inhabited houses and multiply by the average
number of persons per house existing at the census.
The following table shows the number of inhabited houses, together with the estimated population for each parish:—
| Parish. | No. of Occupied Houses. | Population. |
|---|---|---|
| Arkley | ||
| Chipping Barnet | ||
| Hadley | ||
| South Mimms | ||
| Totteridge |
BIRTH RATE.
The nett number of births registered in the District
during the year was 214, as compared with 205 in 1913 and
212 in 1912.
Of these births 108 were males and 106 female.
The Birth Rate, calculated at the rate per 1,000 of the
population, is 17.5, as compared with 18.8 in 1913 and 20.2
in 1912.
The nett illegitimate births registered give a proportion
of 14'2 per 1,000 of the total births.
The following table shows the number of births recorded and the birth rate for each parish in the District:—
