The Vestry of the Parish of Saint Leonard,
IN THE COUNTY OF LONDON.
REPORT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH.
Public Health Department,
lst January, 1893.
To the Vestry of St. Leonard, Shoreditch.
Gentlemen,
In presenting my report for the year 1892, I have not considered it necessary
to do more thau refer to subjects which have already been fully dealt with in the
quarterly reports I have had the honour to submit to you.
PART I.—STATISTICAL.
POPULATION.
While certain parts of the district were shown at the census to be decreasing
in population, others were slightly increasing, it is therefore necessary to re-calculate
for each year the numbers for each district, so that a proper estimate of the health
of the parish may be made. I estimate the population to be as follows:—
The Parish 122,463
Shoreditch South 19,720
Hoxton New Town 28,410
Hoxton Old Town 28,803
Haggerston 45,530
BIRTHS.
The births registered in this parish in the year 1892 numbered 4,487,
deducting therefrom 98 births in Holborn Infirmary, situated in this parish, where
the mothers were not previously resident in Shoreditch, the rate was 35.7 per 1,000 living; the
rate for London was 30.9.
