(and marriage-rate) population (47,700) includes all the elements
of the population contributing to the birth and marriage rates and
may be represented by:—
Death-rate population plus this district's proportional
share of all non-civilian enlisted from this country.
Deaths.
The number of deaths registered in the district was 1,053,
but 591 of these did not belong to the district, while 45 residents
died without the district. Thus the number of deaths properly
attributable to the district was 507. Adopting the basis of the
population estimated by the Registrar-General, the death-rate for
the district conies to 10 79 per 1,000, which is comparable with
the following figures:—122 for England and 121 for London.
As it is not possible to calculate the population in each Ward
with any reasonable degree of accuracy, I am unable to furnish
the death-rate for each separate Ward.
Births.
The total number of births registered during the year was 907,
but 101 of these did not belong to this district, while 37 births
properly belonging to this distiict occurred outside the district.
The nett number of births thus attributable to the district is 843.
Adopting the population basis suggested by the Registrar-General
for the calculation of the birth-rate, this comes to 17 67 per 1,000.
The birth-rate of England and Wales is 18 8 per 1,000, and for
Loudon 18 7 per 1,000.
