REPORT.
Gentlemen,
In laying before you my second Annual Report on the sanitary
condition of this Parish, I have very much pleasure in congratulating you
upon the material diminution of the annual mortality, the deaths during
the year from all causes numbering 307 less than last year.
POPULATION.
I estimate the population of Bethnal Green at 129,300, and as within
the limits of the district we include 755 acres and 17,605 houses, we
have a population of 170-9 to the acre, and an average of 7.3 persons to
each house ; the corresponding density of the whole of London being 7.8
persons to each house, and 46'3 persons to each acre.
The total number of deaths during the year from all causes were 2713
against 3020 last year, the births during the same period being 5268
against 5255 in the previous year. The difference between this, year and
last of the excess of births over deaths being 320 in favour of 1876-7.
This is tabulated below:—
1875-6.
