DEATH RATE.
The number of deaths registered in the parish during the year
was 2800 against 3080 in the previous year, but this included 179
non-parishioners who died in Bethnal Green Hospitals, and whose
deaths must be excluded from the number. On the other hand I
have received information from the General Register Office of the
deaths of 363 inhabitants of Bethnal Green who died in Hospitals
outside the parish; these deaths must be added, thus making a
net total of 2984.
In the Sub-districts the deaths (after correction and distribution)
were as under:—
North 1187
South 796
East 999
Taking the estimated population as a basis, we shew a mortality
rate for the year 1892 of 23.49. This, though two per thousand
below the rate of the previous year, is still three per thousand
above the mortality for the whole of London, which was 20.6.
The mortality in the Sub-districts of this parish was as under:—
North 23.1
South 25.5
East 22.3
