Deaths and Death Rate—Whole District.
Total deaths 350. (Males 174, Females 176).
Crude Death Rate : 7.49 per 1,000.
The total number of deaths registered of persons belonging to the district
and dying within the district at all ages and from all causes was 172
(males 83, and females 89).
For statistical purposes it is necessary to add to this figure the deaths of
persons ordinarily resident in the district who died in various London Hospitals,
the Hillingdon County Hospital, other Middlesex County Hospitals
and elsewhere outside the district. These "outside" deaths were 178 in
number—(males 91, and females 87).
The total number of deaths therefore belonging to the district is 350,
and the crude death-rate 7.49.
The deaths of non-Southall residents in the Hanwell Mental Hospital
(not included in the above figures) numbered 181—(males 65, and females
116).
Deaths—North and South sides.
On the North side, the deaths registered in the district were 85 (males
42, females 43); "the outside" deaths numbered 97 (males 49, females 48);
the total deaths belonging to this side were therefore 182. On the South
side, the deaths registered in the district were 87 (males 41, females 46);
the "outside" deaths were 81 (males 42, females 39); and the total deaths
belonging to this side were 168.
For the purpose of comparison the following table, Table No. 3, is
given to show the more detailed birth and death rates and the rates of infantile
and maternal mortality in England and Wales during the year 1934,
the figures being provisional.
