AREA ASP POPULATION
Population tables are reproduced, in some detail. Although not
necessarily up-to-date they contain the most recent information available
for the new Borough and it was felt appropriate to include them in their
present form to provide readily accessible information and for purposes of
comparison in subsequent reports. Care should be exercised in comparing one
table with another to differentiate between Census figures and Registrar
General's estimates.

Table: Subsequent annual average figures between 1961 and 1965 based on Registrar General's estimated mid-year figures show a dimished rate of reduction at approximately 576 persons per year. 1 in 8 of the population was aged 65 years or over at the 1961 census.(a)
