After the suitable adjustments rendered necessary by the foregoing
tables have been made, the net deaths of the Borough numbered
4,425 (2,338 males and 2,087 females), being 113 more than the
previous year and 182 more than the average for the last five years. This
makes an annual death-rate for the year of 14.9 per 1,000, or 0.4
less than the average death-rate during the five years 1909-1913, which
was 14.5 per 1,000.
Corrected for age and sex distribution, the annual death-rate
becomes 15 9 per 1,000, the factor for correction being 1.0693.
Both the foregoing birth-rate and death-rate, as well as the
subsequent rates, have been calculated from a population estimated
by the Registrar General for the middle of the year at 296,570.
During the year the number of houses completed and passed
for habitation by the Borough Engineer's Staff were as follows :—
New Town 4 West Ham —
Forest Gate — Plaistow 22
