POPULATION.
The population of Southwark to the middle of 1929 has been estimated
by the Registrar-General as 178,500. This estimate has been
based on the adjusted 1921 figures, after allowing for the varying rate
of natural increase as evidenced by the births and deaths, and of
migration as indicated from other sources, such as the changes in the
numbers on the Parliamentary Register, and the migration returns from
the Board of Trade.
The population of the several divisions of the Borough at each
Census since 1841, and also the estimated population for 1922, 1923,1924,
1925, 1926, 1927, 1928 and 1929 are as follows:—
