West 3,310 15,686
Total 6,110 30,261
The estimated population for 1925 is furnished by the
Registrar-General, namely 32,220. The inmates of the Hanwell
Mental Hospital are not included in these figures. The
population of the former Institution is:—
Males. Females.
Patients 999 1,372
Resident Staffs 20 240
1,019 1,012
2,631
The only means we have of checking the figures is an
estimate based on the number of houses in the District. There
are 5,843 houses in rating, and allowing an average of 5.5
persons per house, the population is 32.136. East Ward,
2,520 X 5.5= 13,860. West, 3,323 X 5.5= 18,276.
It is probable the number is greater than this, the average
of 5.5 persons per house being too low since a large number
of houses are let to more than one family, or lodgers are taken.*
