| Death from all causes: | Male | Female | Total | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,130 | 972 | 2,102 | ||||
| Death Rate per 1,000 population:— | ||||||
| Hillingdon | Crude | 90 | ||||
| Corrected | 11.3 | |||||
| England and Wales | 11.5 | |||||
| Area Comparability Factor: | 1.25 | |||||
In calculating the Live Birth Rate and the Death Rate, the crude figures have been adjusted
by the Registrar General's Area Comparability Factors of 0.96 and 1.25, respectively. These factors
may be said to represent a population handicap to be applied to the area, and, when multiplied by
the crude rate modifies the latter so as to make it comparable with the rate for the country as a
whole or with similarly adjusted rates for any other area; the effect of this is to allow for sex and
age distribution of the inhabitants of districts.
