VITAL STATISTICS.
Population.
The Registrar-General's estimate for the population for 1931
is (Birth rate) 76,230—(Death rate) 75,360. The Census population
was 75,446. According to the Registrar-General's Preliminary
Report on the Census of 1931, amongst the large towns showing
increases in population since 1921, Heston and Isleworth is fourth
on the list with an increase of 61.7 per cent.
The death-rate population excludes all non-civilian males,
whether serving at home or abroad; whilst the birth-rate (and
marriage-rate) population includes all the elements of the population
contributing to the birth and marriage rates, and may be
represented by:—
Death-rate population plus the district's proportional share of
all non-civilians enlisted from this country.
Deaths.
The number of deaths registered in the district was 1453, but
797 of these did not belong to the district, while 98 residents died
outside the district. Thus the number of deaths properly attributable
to the district was 754. Adopting the basis of the population
estimated by the Registrar-General, the death-rate for the district
comes to 10.0 per 1,000, which is comparable with the following
figures: 12.3 for England and Wales, and 12.4 for London.
The death-rate corrected by the Registrar-General's factor of
.931 is 9.31.
