Occupations.
On page 15 of my Annual Report for 1934 will be
found details of occupations within the Borough according
to the last Census taken in 1931.
The following figures of population show the increase of population since as far back as 1831:—
| Year. | Population. |

| 1936 | 57,850 |
| 1937 | 58,700 |
| 1938 | 59,470 |
The Registrar General gives 59,470 as the estimated
resident population of Bromley, mid-year 1938. all
vital statistical rates for the Borough are based on this
figure for the year under review.
The population as estimated by the Registrar
General shows an increase of 770 over the previous year.
It may be of interest to compare the Registrar
General's estimate of population, 59,470, with our on
estimated figure of 60,377, which has been calculated
from the records of local assessments, as follows: —
