This gives a net death rate of 7.6.
The corresponding death rate for England and Wales
was 14'0, and that for the 145 small towns 12 9.
For purposes of comparison with other districts which
may have a more favourable or unfavourable population as regards
its sex and age constitution, it is necessary to multiply
the net death rate by the factor 1 0655 supplied by the
Registrar General; the result is the corrected Death Rate
of 8.1.
