The total number of deaths accountable to Ilford is
therefore seen to be 846. This gives a death-rate of 10.5
calculated on the estimated nett civil population. This compares
with a death-rate of 8.8 in the previous year.
There is no doubt that the mental and physical strain
felt by the community during last year has had its effect on
the death-rate.
