Deaths and Death Rate—Whole District.
Total deaths 474. (Males 244, Females 230).
Crude Death Rate : 9.19 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 210 (males 92
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
264 in number (males 152 and females 112). The total number of deaths
therefore belonging to the district is 474, and the crude death-rate 9.19.
The deaths of non-Southall residents in the St. Bernards Hospital (not
included in the above figures) numbered 149 (males 59 and females 90).
The death rate since 1883 grouped in five-yearly periods is shown in
Appendix C.
