It was found that the population of the institutions was
as follows:—
Claybury Asylum
2,712
West Ham Asylum
1,122
Barnardo's Homes
1,464
Ilford Isolation Hospital
70
Total
5,368
Adding this to the figure 80,555, obtained by calculation,
we get a gross estimated population of 85,932 persons on
June 30th, 1914.
For the purpose of calculating the death-rate and birthrate,
Claybury Asylum and West Ham Asylum are considered
not to belong to the district. Subtracting 3,834, being the
population of these institutions, we get a total of 82,098
persons as the nett estimated population for the district.
