Deaths.
The number of deaths registered in the district was 1310, but
737 of these did not belong to the district, while 74 residents died
outside the district. Thus the number of deaths properly attributable
to the district was 647. Adopting the basis of the population
estimated by the Registrar-General, the death-rate for the district
comes to 10.31 per 1,000, which is comparable with the following
figures: 11.4 for England and Wales, and 11.4 for London.
The death-rate corrected by the Registrar-General's factor of
.931 is 9.59.
The corrected death-rate worked out on an estimated population
figure of 80,000 is 7.52.
Births.
The total number of births registered during the year was 1291,
but 223 of these did not belong to this district, while 138 births
properly belonging to this district occurred outside the district. The
nett number of births thus attributable to the district is 1206.
Adopting the population basis suggested by the Registrar-General
for the calculation of the birth-rate, this comes to 19.12 per 1,000.
The birth-rate of England and Wales was 16.3 per 1,000, and for
London 15.7 per 1,000.
The birth-rate worked out on an estimated population figure of
80,000 is 15.07.
