| 1868 | 5.5 | 4.7 | 23.6 | 38.2 | 28.0 | 100 | |

Table 2 shows the per centages of births in each sub-district
for years 1857-66, for 1861 and 1868, also of the population in
1861. In 1861 the per centages of births were less than those
of the population in Stoke Newington and Stamford Hill, but
greater in West Hackney, Hackney and South Hackney. The
per centages of births have diminished in Stoke Newington,
West Hackney, and Hackney, slightly increased in Stamford
Hill, and are very much greater in South Hackney. This is
nothing more than might have been expected, considering
the very large number of houses which have been built in
South Hackney since 1861. The per centages as compared with
1867 have increased in the same sub-districts to the extent of
0.4 per cent. in Stamford Hill, and 1.5 per cent. in South
Hackney. The total number registered in South Hackney was
more than double that in 1861, viz. 1058 against 514.
