The following Tables I, II, III summarise certain vital statistics.
Table I shows the figures for live births, stillbirths, and deaths
for the years 1957 - 1961 inclusive.
The figures in Table II are the Registrar General's estimates for
successive years since 1932. They give the population, number of live
births, birth rate per 1,000 population, number of deaths, and 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 below 40,000.
