The last column of the table has been made in
order to show the exact annual increase of the
population per 1000 persons from 1871 to 1881 for
each of the sub-districts of the Parish, and for the
whole Parish. It will be seen that during these ten
years the sub-district of Camberwell has been
increasing much more rapidly than any other part of
the Parish; that after this comes Peckham, then
St. George's, and lastly Dulwich, whose rate of
growth has been only half that of Camberwell. The
whole Parish has increased at as nearly as possible
the same rate as Peckham.
In the 52 weeks ending Saturday, December
31st, 1881, 6,760 births, and 3,478 deaths were
registered in the Parish (see Table III); the births
being 113 above, the deaths 54 below those registed
in 1880. Of these totals, 109 births and 47 deaths
occured in Dulwich; 2,092 births, and 1,278 deaths
in Camberwell; 2,595 births and 1,236 deaths in
Peckham; and 1,964 births and 917 deaths in St.
George's.
Table IV. exhibits the relations of these
numbers to those of the previous year:—
