These deaths were equal to 30.6 per cent of the total deaths registered
and 16.5 per cent of the total registered births. The percentage
of these deaths in the whole of London was 24.3 to the total
deaths registered and 15.1 to the total registered births. In the
three sub-districts the percentage of these deaths to the total deaths
and total births respectively was St Peter's 19.7 and 11.6 St Paul's
31.6 and 16.8 Fulham 31.0 and 16.8. This mortality rate therefore
was as compared with the total deaths and total births greater
in St Paul's and Fulham and less in St Peter's than in Lonndon,
The mortality rate among infants is always greater in this district
than in the whole of London. This is attributable to the fact that
this district contains a very large proportion of poor class inhabitants.
The infantile mortality rate was slightly greater in this district
last year than in the year previous.
The number of deaths at 60 years of age and upwards was 492,
of which there were 38 in St Peter's, 260 in St Paul's, and 194 in
Fulham, against 35 in St Peter's, 359 in St Paul's, and 313 in
Fulham registered the previous year. These deaths were equal to
19.7 per cent of the total deaths registered, while the percentage
of the same in all London was 20.7. The senile mortality rate
therefore was less than that of all London. This is owing to the
fact that a large number of young persons occupy the newly constructed
houses.
