The following tables I, II, III, summarise certain vital
statistics.
Table I shows the figures for live births, stillbirths,
and deaths for the years 1952-1956 inclusive.
The figures in Table II are the Registrar General's
estimates for successive years since 1927. 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 estimated population figure is to remain
just below 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.
