The difficulty of estimating with any degree of accuracy
the populations, and the death-rates, of the sub-districts of
the Parish is much greater than that of giving similar
estimates in regard to the parish at large. I have,
however, made three separate estimates of population
and of death-rate founded on the same data as those
which I have employed above.
According to the first estimate, the populations and
death-rates of the sub-districts were, for the year 1865, as
follows:—
Dulwich. Camberwell. Peckham. St. George's.
Population 1898 23,456 30,987 22,393
Death-rate 1.84 2.14 2.55 2.59
according to the second:—
Population 1763 23,113 33,478 22,780
Death-rate 1.99 2.17 2.36 2.55
according to the third:—
Population 1476 23,839 35,382 30,801
Death-rate 2.37 2.10 2.23 1.89
I may add my belief (without assigning my reasons for
it, excepting so far as they may be deduced from the
observations on the subject made in my last year's Report)
that the mortuary rate of Dulwich was really smaller than
