Table A—Population of Camberwell and its Sub-Districts. Borough Camberwell. Peckham. St. George's Dulwich 90,286 As enumerated at census, 1896 67,029 253,076 7,519 88,242 259,339 As enumerated at census, 1901 90,465 93,038 65,589 10,247 As calculated for middle of 1903 262,968 92,079 94,286 65,283 11,214 In estimating the population for the whole of the Borough I have assumed the same rate of increase to be maintained as during the intercensal period of 1896-1901; and for each of the sub-districts I have taken the number of assessments shown in April, 1903, and multiplied that by the number of inhabitants per assessment shown by the census of 1901.
