of the birth-rates for the preceding ten years will
be found in Table I. at the end of this report.
The number of deaths registered as having
taken place in the district last year being 135, the
natural increase, that is, the difference between
the total number of births and the total number of
deaths would cause an addition to the population
of 197.
The following Table shows that the natural increase for the previous ten years has been as follows:—
Year. | Births. | Deaths. | Increase. |
---|---|---|---|
1900 | 295 | 168 | 127 |
1901 | 324 | 152 | 172 |
1902 | 288 | 157 | 131 |
1903 | 351 | 149 | 202 |
1904 | 347 | 178 | 169 |
1905 | 321 | 134 | 187 |
1906 | 356 | 135 | 221 |
1907 | 341 | 142 | 199 |
1908 | 385 | 177 | 208 |
1909 | 346 | 171 | 175 |
Average for years 1900 to 1909 | 335 | 156 | 179 |
1910 | 332 | 135 | 197 |
The natural increase is, therefore, considerably
above the average for the last ten years, but this is
due, not to a high birth-rate, but to an exceptionally
low death-rate.
