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 RegistrarGeneral,
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 at the end of 1953 are supplied
through the courtesy of the Exchange Manager and the Youth
Employment Officer:
Men 138
Women 54
Boys 22
Girls 11
POPULATION
The Registrar-General's estimate of the home population at
mid-1953 is 61,680, compared with 62,721 enumerated at the census
