Deaths and Death Rate—Whole District.
Total deaths 398. (Males 212, Females 186).
Crude Death Rate : 8.25 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 168 (males 83,
and females 85).
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 230 in
number—(males 129, and females 101).
The total number of deaths therefore belonging to the district is 398,
and the crude death-rate 8.25.
The deaths of non-Southall residents in the Hanwell Mental Hospital
(not included in the above figures) numbered 125—(males 58, and females 67).
The death rate since 1883 grouped in five-yearly periods, is shown in
Appendix C on page 68.
Deaths—North and South sides.
On the North side, the deaths registered in the district were 82 (males 37,
females 45) ; " the outside " deaths numbered 129 (males 73, females 56) ; the
total deaths belonging to this side were therefore 211. On the South side the
deaths registered in the district were 86 (males 46, females 40) ; the " outside "
deaths were 101 (males 56, females 45) ; and the total deaths belonging to this
side were 187.
For the purpose of comparison 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 1935, the figures being provisional.
