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, 81.
*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, the Lock Hospital, and the Children's Hospital) within the parish are
deducted for the years 1877-1883, inclusive; for the years 1875 and 1876 the
total deaths in the above-mentioned Institutions are deducted.
