The total number of deaths accountable to Ilford is
therefore seen to be 721.
Calculated on an estimated gross population of 85,932
for the middle of the year the death-rate is 1o.8.
Comparison of the death-rates of Ilford for last year and
previous years is best made by employing the nett population
as a basis of calculation (that is, the gross population less the
institutions Claybury and West Ham Asylums).
The nett death-rate for the year is 8.8 and is compared
with that of previous years in the following list:—
1909 nett death-rate 9.2
1910 ,, 8.2
1911 ,, 9.3
1912 ,, 8.1
1913 ,, 9.4
1914 ,, 8.8
It will be seen that the death-rate has only varied within
small limits during the past six years. There is every reason
to suppose that the death-rate will continue low in Ilford, the
only occurrence likely to occasion a marked rise being an
epidemic of such a disease as small-pox.
