Notes.
1. Population at Census, 1881, 107,218.
2. Area in Acres, 1,280.
3. Average No. of Persons in each House at Census, 1881, 8.1.
* For statistical purposes the Registrar-General estimates the population to
the middle of the year on the basis of the rate of increase ruling between the
two preceding Census periods. The estimate of population may be checked by
the known number of inhabited houses, and by the average number of inmates
per house, as ascertained at the preceding Census.
** The deaths of non-parishioners in the public institutions (St. Mary's
Hospital and the Lock Hospital) within the parish are deducted for the years
1877-1881, inclusive; for the years 1875 and 1876 the total deaths in the
above-mentioned Institutions are deducted.
