Deaths.—The Registrar-General's classification of causes of
death by sex totals is given.
The total number of deaths in 1951 (1,309) compares with
1,305 in 1950, the respective death rates per 1,000 population being
10.8 and 10.6.
Comparability Factor.—The comparability factor applicable for
1950 was revised by the Registrar-General in September, 1951.
The revised factors were:—
Area comparability factor for births 0.96
Area comparability factor for deaths 1.04
The above factors, when applied to the crude rates, produce
the following adjusted rates:—
Live births 13.0
