Population of the Wards.
The population and the number of houses in the several
Wards, into which the Borough is now divided, are shown in the
subjoined table:—
TABLE II.
TABLE I.
| Year. | Population. | Increase per cent. During Previous Intercensal Period. | Persons to the Acre. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1851 Census | 11,866 | ... | 7.0 |

| 1896 „ | 113,781 | 24.4 | 67.0 |
| 1901 „ | 137,289 | 20.6 | 80.6 |
As the boundaries of some of the wards have been materially
altered since the Census of 1896, it is not possible to compare
the figures relating to them obtained in 1901 with those of 1896
and 1901, but the following table gives those of the three
Registration Sub-Districts, into which Fulham is now divided.
