The following tables I, II, III, summarise certain
vital statistics.
Table I shows the figures for live births, stillbirths,
and deaths for the years 1951 - 1955 inclusive. It is noted
that the number of stillbirths is unusually low compared
with previous years, and with England and Wales as a whole,
and that there were fewer deaths than in any year since 1934.
The figures in Table II are the Registrar General's
estimates for successive years since 1926. They give the
population, number of live births, birth rate per 1,000
population, number of deaths, the death rate per 1,000
population, and also the infant mortality rate per 1,000
live births of Kingston-upon-Thames and England and Wales.
The trend of the population figure is to remain at about
40,000.
The causes of deaths shown in Table III are in
accordance with the 36 headings based on the Abbreviated
List of the International Statistical Classification of
Diseases, Injuries and Causes of Death.
