The following Table has been prepared in order to show in what respects the
Woolwich population differs in age grouping from the population of London as a
whole and it will be noted that, compared with London generally, there is a relative
excess number of persons under 19 years of age and between 30 and 39 years. In
all other ages there are relatively fewer people in Woolwich.
