67a76f34-cf04-454b-a713-af0364224038 | The birth-rate for the year was 24 per 1,000 compared with 17.1 in 1919, and 14.5 per 1,000 in 1918. The birth-rate for England and Wales was 25.4 per 1,000 and for the 96 Great Towns 26.2 per 1,000. The death-rate—10.4 per 1,000—was exactly the same as that of 1919.

The virulent outbreak of this disease which occurred in the autumn is dealt with in another paragraph. For the fifth year in succession there has bee... |
185a21a1-382f-4fd3-9c47-1487ade0a33b | A full description of the district was given in last year's Report, and it is unnecessary to repeat fully the information then given. The district is divided municipally into four Wards:— North East, North West, South East, and South West. The most important industries are Laundry and Engineering, and the most importan... |

2295c918-c939-4e16-8ee9-76047b705eda | I believe that the Registrar-General's estimate is too low by nearly 3,000 inhabitants, but in view of the interesting figures given by the Registrar-General in his recently published Annual Report for 1919, I have deemed it expedient to accept his figures. The following paragraphs may be quoted, as they bear, not only... |
bb970857-8618-421c-ae1a-180d2c932dec | At the same time, while the war has rendered the methods relied upon for estimating local populations in normal times quite useless for this purpose now, it has fortunately brought in its train new sources of information in the shape of the National Register and Rationing Statistics, which have greatly mitigated the di... |
4d379209-b186-4067-83e2-2ae4abca592e | This method of estimation generally assumes that the number of persons per house has remained at least as large as at the last census. But the acuteness of the housing problem, and the frequency of cases in which two families now occupy one house because of the failure to obtain a second, invites the assumption that an... |
507d58bf-c4a4-4302-86d6-cf418575c3f3 | Probably this was a main factor in causing the decrease in average numbers recorded up to 1911; and the decrease in the birth-rate has continued since. There is no doubt that the size of the average family has been on the decline for many years; 8 and so far - the rule of one family one house prevails—as it still must ... |
1197723d-3ae8-42af-b11d-af6b9d594672 | At the 1911 census there were 9,445 inhabited and occupied houses in the district and 490 unoccupied houses. Between April 1st, 1911, and July, 1914, 442 new dwelling houses were erected and occupied. Most of the 490 houses empty in 1911 are now occupied; so that roughly accommodation for an additional 5,500 persons ha... |
f9da952b-77ca-4402-8706-9648ce0467db | In last year's Report it was stated the Surveyor estimated that 1,700 new houses were required to meet the immediate needs of the district. The discrepancy between this latter figure and the Registrar-General's estimate of the population is not so great as it appears on the surface. Conditions have changed since the Su... |
ef988169-b5b3-4a2c-a4cf-355344c24c23 | The birth-rate is higher than that of the previous year, and is the highest birth-rate recorded since 1914. As far as the 9 actual number of births is concerned, the number is the highest recorded since 1908. The number appears lower than that of 1913, but that is accounted for by the fact that births of nonresidents a... |
89908990-d7c9-4985-8c67-d1453285b44f | The births registered in the district in the four quarters were as follows :— First quarter 423 Second quarter 399 Third quarter 337 Fourth quarter 283 The sharp rise in the first half of 1920 is not likely to affect permanently the general tendency towards a reduced birth-rate, which has been such an outstanding featu... |
5845cd98-2619-449b-936b-3347a744ece8 | From the eugenic point of view, the reduced birth-rate operates chiefly amongst those classes which, humanly speaking, are the best fitted to be parents; whilst it operates little, if at all, amongst those classes which are least fitted. Although the question of the birth-rate is discussed quite freely nowadays, candid... |
