At the commencement of this Report I alluded briefly to some matters
connected with the Model Dwellings within the Whitechapel District. I
have little to add at the present time beyond submitting the subjoined
Tables, as usual, for your inspection. There are 16,025 men, women
and children now living in Block Dwellings, equal to one-fifth of the entire
population of the District. The general death-rate in these Buildings was
16.7 per 1,000. The Zymotic death-rate was 21 per 1,000.
