VITAL STATISTICS.
Change of Boundary.—The statistics of Births and Deaths and Notifiable Diseases are
composite figures combining the records for the first portion of the year prior to the date of the
change with those for the altered area for the remaining portion of the year.
The normal mid 1934 estimate of population is 87,797, but a working population figure
modified to take into account the fact of the change of boundary for a part of the year has been
used for working out certain of the Births, Deaths and Infectious Disease rates.
Population.—The Registrar-General's estimate for the population for 1934 is 87,797. The
Census population in 1931 was 76,254, this being the revised figure, as altered under the provisions
of the Middlesex Review Order, 1933.
Deaths.—The number of deaths registered in the district was 1,677, but 963 of these did
not belong to the district, while 149 residents died outside the district. Thus the number of deaths
properly attributable to the district was 863. Adopting the basis of the population estimated by
the Registrar-General, the corrected death-rate for the district comes to 10.34 per 1,000, which is
comparable with the following figures : 11.8 for England and Wales, and 11.9 for London.
