Deaths and Death Rate—Whole District.
Total deaths 424. (Males 212, Females 212).
Crude Death Rate : 8.55 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 218 (males 100
and females 118). 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
206 in number—(males 112, and females 94). The total number of deaths
therefore belonging to the district is 424, and the crude death-rate 8.55.
The deaths of non-Southall residents in the Hanwell Mental Hospital
(not included in the above figures) numbered 152—(males 69, and females 83).
The death rate since 1883 grouped in five-yearly periods, is shown in
Appendix C.
