Deaths.— The deaths which occurred in the Borough of Hackney
during the year 1906 numbered 3,315, but of these 536 were " Nonresidents";
that is, persons of other districts dying in institutions
in the Borough. On the other hand, there were 352 deaths of
Hackney residents who died in institutions outside the Borough.
Making the necessary corrections, the correct number of deaths to
be credited to Hackney is 3,131. This figure shows a decline of 161
deaths on the previous year. The general death rate for Hackney
for the year 1906 is therefore 13 6 per 1,000 of the population.
This rate requires further correction for age and sex distribution,
which is made by multiplying the above rate by the factor 1 04262.
Making this correction, the true general mortality for Hackney
becomes 14.17 per 1,000 living. The mortality rate for 1905 was
15 01, the year 1906 shows then a lower death rate to the extent
of .84 per 1000 of the population The lowest death rate is in the
North Sub-District (11.6 per 1,000), the highest in the South-West
Sub-District (14.8 per 1,000).
