Population
The estimated mid-year population was 208,730 which, in spite of a
natural increase in population—excess of births over deaths—of 1,127
was 870 lower than the figure calculated for 1965. The number of occupied
houses and flats rose by 609 to 67,463.
Births
The total number of births during the year was 3,161 (1,669 male and
1,492 female). 180 of these births were illegitimate, giving a percentage
of total births of 5.7.
Total number of live and still births 3,212
Local births 658
(a) domiciliary confinement 657
(b) nursing home confinement 1
2,581 birth notifications were transferred from other districts, being
mostly births occurring to Harrow mothers in hospitals in Middlesex or
in London. The birth rate was 15.1 per 1,000 population, which when
corrected by the application of the Registrar General's area comparability
factor, gives a birth rate of 15.4 as compared with the birth rate of 17.7
per 1,000 population for England and Wales.
