It thus appears that the deaths from these diseases
were only five below the corrected decennial average. They
were 60 more than in 1891; and as usual the deaths in the
Brompton sub-district (62) were fewer in proportion to population
than those in the Town sub-district (271). The total
deaths were equivalent to 115 per 1000 deaths from all
causes in Kensington (Metropolis, 136), and to a rate of 2.0
per 1000 persons living (Metropolis, 2.8); the decennial
average being 2.0 in Kensington, and 2.9 in London. In
England and Wales the deaths from these diseases were 100
in each 1000 deaths, and the rate was 1.9 per 1000 persons
living, the decennial average being about 23 per 1000.
In the 32 Cities and Boroughs grouped by the RegistrarGeneral
with the Metropolis, the zymotic death-rate was
2.64 per 1000; ranging from 1.48 in Huddersfield, 1.58 in
Norwich, and 1.64 in Newcastle, to 3.10 in Bolton, 3.87 in
Preston, and 4.58 in Salford.
