SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
on the
HEALTH OF THE METROPOLITAN BOROUGH
OF WOOLWICH,
Year ending 31st December, 1907.
PART I.
Statistics.
1. Population. The population of the Borough to the middle
of 1907 has been estimated on the supposition that the increase
since 1901 has been proportional to that between the last two
decennial censuses, thus giving 129,336. Dividing this number
by the number of houses, 22,524, we get 5.75 persons per house.
The number of persons per house at the census was 6'47. It has
been assumed that the population of each parish has diminished
or increased proportionately to the number of new houses.
