Population and Density.— Applying the rate of increase observed
during the last intercensal period to the population of Hackney, I
estimate the population of the Borough to number 223,022 at the

the whole Borough of 67.8 persons per acre, varying from 50 0
persons in the North Sub-District to 98.6 persons in the South-west
Sub-District per acre.
The following table shows the estimated population and
density of population per acre for each of the Registration SubDistricts
in the Borough:—

England and Wales, 1911, which supplies more detailed information
concerning the population of the Borough and their dwellings and
other buildings.
