DEATHS FROM ALL CAUSES.
The gross number of deaths registered in the borough
during the year 1937 was 1,745. The number of inward transfers
—i.e. the deaths of West Ham residents registered elsewhere—
was 1,551, and the number of outward transfers—i.e. deaths of
non-residents registered in West Ham—was 189. The nett
deaths allocated to the borough are therefore 3,107, which
gives a crude death rate of 12.0 per 1,000 of the population. Of
these 3,107 deaths, 1,629 were of males and 1,478 of females
respectively. The death rates from all causes by sex are therefore
12.9 and 11.1 respectively per 1,000 of each sex living.
