POPULATION.
The population of the district for 1920, estimated by the
Registrar-General and used for the calculations in this report, is
28,787, not including inmates of Public Institutions in the District.
This figure is approximately correct as checked by the number of
houses in rating (5,402) and allowing a normal number of inmates
(5.3) a house=28,630. It is probable, however, that our population
is much larger than this, for in 1919 a house-to-house inspection
gave a population of 35,865; an average of nearly seven persons a
house then in rating. On this basis our population for 1920 would
be 37,814, which, together with the inmates of the Hanwell Asylum
(2,897), gives a total of 40,711.
For the statistical purposes of the report I estimate the
population of the East Ward at 12,137 and of the West Ward
16,650.
