The fact that out of over 6,000 houses within the district, only 52 are unoccupied, and these apparently are vacant not because a tenant at a rental cannot be found, but because they are for sale only, deserves serious consideration. I attribute the fall in the number of marriages from 295 to 222, or from 9.1 to 6.4 pe...

The indication, however, is that this rate tends to get less, and that a population of under 45,000 is to be expected in 1921. An increasing population cannot continue for many years in face of a falling birth rate, and I should put the figure for the town in 1931 as between 50 and 60 thousand, rather nearer the latter...

2 The outstanding feature of this series is the shrinkage, especially since 1891, of the distribution, that is we have relatively less infants and people of extreme old age than in former years. The latter is purely a relative phenomenon, but the former is very real, and constitutes one of the most serious aspects of o...

The deduction is obviously absurd, and the reason will be seen to lie in the age distribution, which is not that of a normal population, for it contains a large excess of units of favourable ages (adults) who have immigrated from other districts, or have accumulated owing to the great reduction in the death-rate conseq...

we find that had the age and sex distribution of England and Wales been the same as Barking the death-rate for the country generally would have been 14.28 per 1,000. The actual death-rate was 14.6 Hence the district is favourably situated. The converse of this process is rather more difficult, and cannot be done in any...

If out birthas rate continues to fall at the same rate as it has done in the last 80 years town-planning schemes and other provision for future expansion will soon become unnecessary, as the population will cease to increase, a condition of affairs which I estimate will occur in about 30 or 40 years.

In the ten years 1891-1901 21 the average rate was 163, and in the period 1901-1911 153.2, giving a fall of 10 per 1,000, an improvement which, in all probability, is directly due to the marked diminution in the number of infants born to each mother. A smaller family naturally means that the home circumstances are impr...

That Phthisis has suddenly become rampant in our town can be dismissed, but there can be no doubt that the attitude of the profession has completely changed towards this disease.
