ILFORD URBAN COUNCIL.
Medical Officer's Annual Report.
To the ILFORD URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,
In presenting my report on the Sanitary Condition and
Health of the Urban District of Ilford during the year
1900, I beg to say that I estimate the population of the
whole district, including Clay bury Asylum and Dr.
Barnardo's Village Homes, at 43,701. The population of
Claybury Asylum is 2,770, and that of Dr. Barnardo's
Village Homes at 1,000; to this I add the population
estimated for the year 1899, which is 35,069, and the
increase of births over deaths is 651, and also the increase
of the population by the number of new houses that have
been put on the rate-book during the last year, 1,090, 300 of
which are unoccupied, leaving 790 occupied, and assuming
that there are about live people in a house, this source would
add 3,950 to the population, these added together make
43,701; deducting the numbers in Claybury Asylum and
Dr. Barnardo's Village Homes, which are 3,770, leaving the
population for Ilford itself 39,931, or an increase for the
middle of the year 1900, 4,870.
