Number of Inhabited Houses.
At the 1921 Census the number of "structurally separate"
dwellings in the District was 7,939.
During the period 1921 to 1926 the number of newly-erected
dwelling houf.es completed and occupied has been 1,466, 326 of
these having been erected during the year 1926.
Building, almost entirely of dwelling houses, is still proceeding
extensively in the District, and the remaining sites available for
development are rapidly becoming built over.
Rateable Value.
Social Conditions and Occupations of the Inhabitants
The area is largely a residential one. There are approximately
16,000 occupied persons resident in the District, and in the case
of more than half of these their workplace is situated outside
the area.
As regards trades and industries carried on in the District,
in none of these has there appeared to be any prejudicial effect
on health connected with conditions of occupation.
Considerable detail with regard to the social conditions of
the inhabitants and their occupations was given in my Survey
Report for 1925 (Pages 4 to 8), and there has since occurred no
material alteration.
Vital Statistics.
Comparative vital statistics with reference to birth-rate,
death-rate and infantile mortality are given in tabular form on
pages 4 and 5.
