VITAL STATISTICS.
Population.
The enumerated population of the Borough at the Census taken
on the 19th June. 1921, was 167,739. In 1901 the population was
found to be 168,907, and in 1911, 167,743.
The Census of 1921 originally planned for the 24th April, was
unavoidably postponed to the 19th June. Owing to the holiday
movement having started by the latter date, the Registrar-General
found it necessary to make an adjustment in the figures. So far as
London was concerned, the adjustment was small, the estimate of
the resident population being only 9 per 1,000 in excess of the Census
figures in each of the Metropolitan Boroughs. The revised population,
as estimated by the Registrar-General, for Battersea was
169,200*, showing a slight excess over the previous Census returns
of 1901 and 1911.
In the following table is set out the revised Census population and the estimated mid-year population in the registration sub-districts and the wards of the Borough:—
