Deaths and Death Rate—Whole District.
Total deaths 453. (Males 249, Females 204).
Crude Death Rate : 8.04 per l.,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 208 (males 100
and females 102). 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 245
in number (males 143 and females 102). The total number of deaths therefore
belonging to the district is 453 and the crude death rate 8.04.
The deaths of non-Southall residents in the St. Bernard's Hospital (not
included in the above figures) numbered 180 (males 84 and females 102).
The death rate since 1883 grouped in five-yearly periods is shown in
Appendix B.
