Less value is attached to statistics and deductions to be drawn from small
numbers, than from large figures, on account of the greater liability to error. It is
therefore advisable to work out the figures for a number of years. The notification
rate and death rate are lower than in the previous year. This is also true of the
rest of the Borough.
Leaving Lolesworth Buildings out, as the number of Jews and Non-Jews, is
fairly equally divided, the remaining Buildings, which are of a similar type, are
occupied by 5,984 Jews and 3,325 Non-Jews. In the former 7.52 per 1,000 of
the occupiers were notified to be suffering from Pulmonary Tuberculosis, and
1.66 per 1,000 died. In the Buildings which contained no Jews, 6'31 per 1,000 were
notified to be suffering from the disease, and .9 per 1,000 died. This difference is
not so marked as in the previous year.
