STATISTICAL SUMMARY
Deaths are classified under the 36 headings based on the
abbreviated List of the International Statistical Classification
of Diseases, Injuries and Causes of Death, 1948 Deaths are
assigned to the area where the deceased normally resided, except
where the death occurs in a residential home or in a chronic sick
or mental hospital where the deceased had been a patient for six
months or more.
Although there was a natural increase in population which
arose from the births exceeding deaths by 344, the Registrar
General estimate of population shows a reduction of 1,400, meaning
that the movement of population out of the Borough must have
exceeded the inward movement by 1,744.
