TO THE
B0ARD OF WORKS
for the
LIMEHOUSE DISTRICT.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit my Report on the Health and
Sanitary Condition of the Limehouse District for the year 1887.
During the year in question there were registered in the District
420 marriages, a number which exceeded that registered in the
previous year by 20, but which falls considerably short of the average
of the last ten years. The Marriage Rate in the District was 14
persons per 1,000 population, while in London it was 16.2 per 1,000,
the lowest Marriage Rate yet recordod in London.
The Births registered in the District numbered 2,064, a number
somewhat below the average of the last ten years, and corresponding
to an annual Birth Rate of 35 per 1,000, that of London having
been 31.7 per 1,000 inhabitants.
The Deaths registered in the District exclusive of those of
non-residents which occurred in Public Institutions situated in the
District, but inclusive of those of residents which occurred in Public
Institutions situated beyond the limits of the District numbered
1,450, and corresponded to a death rate of 24.7 per 1,000 population,
that of London having been 19.6 per 1,000, and of the Eastern
Districts 21.9 per 1,000.
The Deaths of Children under five years numbered 626, of which
3G3 were those of children under one year.
