It will be observed that Church End and Kensal
Green have a much greater proportion of their population
living at the age period 0-10 than at any of
the succeeding decennia. To a lesser extent, this
applies to Harlesden, South Kilburn, and Mid-Kilburn,
while in North Kilburn and Willesden Greeu it is not
until the third decennium is reached that the maximum
population living in a 10-year age group is reached.
As the death rates at the different age periods
materially differ, it follows that the diverse age
constitution of the Ward populations will profoundly
modify their different death rates, and, indeed, their
sick rates, birth rates, and other rates, based on the
proportion of cases per thousand of population.
