The Registrar-General's statistics relating to population and
deaths differ slightly from those compiled from local records. The
total figures in respect of the district as a whole, which are supplied
by the Registrar-General, are set out in this report, but where classification
has been made, e.g., by age groups, sex, wards, etc., it has
necessarily been based on our own records, which may, in the aggregate,
show slight discrepancies compared with the Registrar-General's
totals.
UNEMPLOYMENT.
The following figures in respect of persons living in Carshalton
registered as unemployed at the Sutton Employment Exchange and
the Carshalton Youth Employment Bureau on 8th January, 1951, are
supplied through the courtesy of the Exchange Manager:—
Men 140
Women 36
Boys 38 (including 36 school leaversl
Girls 53 (including 45 school leavers)
POPULATION.

mid-year, was 62,150, which is 160 less than the estimate twelve
months earlier. The number under 15 years of age was 13,645,
representing 22 per cent. of the total.
