Town Hall,
Fulham, S.W.
To the Vestry of the Parish of Fulham,
Gentlemen,
I beg to submit to you my Annual Report on the
vital statistics, and the conditions affecting the health of the
district for the year 1895. The statistics of Marriages,
Births, Deaths and Infectious Diseases relate to the 52
weeks ending December 28th, 1895.
POPULATION.
The population of Fulham as enumerated at the Census
taken in April, 1891, was 91,640, having Increased from 42,900
during the preceding ten years. The population in the
middle of 1895 as calculated in the usual manner on the
assumption that the rates of increase which prevailed between
1881 and 1891 have been maintained since, was 117,773,
but there is reason to believe that this is somewhat too
high, and calculating from the number of inhabited houses
on the rate books, the population in the middle of 1895 may
be estimated at 111,150, and on this figure the statistics in
this report are based.
A Census of the population of the County of London
will be taken, in accordance with the provisions of the
Equalisation of Rates Act, on March 29th of this year, so
that our population as enumerated will shortly be known.
Area and Density of the Population.
The area of Fulham is 1,701 acres, and there are 65
persons to the acre. The County of London has an average
density of 58.8 persons to the acre, ranging from 211 and
