    11 Area and Population. Acres. Estimated Population. 1563 109,280 The population of the Metropolitan Borough of Deptford at the census taken April, 1911, was 109,496. The estimated population to the middle of the year 1913, based on the results of the above census and that of 1901, was 109,280. The estimated population for each of the various wards based on the results of the Census of 1901 and that of 1911, was as follows:— East 21,143 S. 12,119 N. 23,821 S.E. 12,296 N.W. 23,434 S.W. 16,467 As the Borough has an area of 1563 acres, the density of the population on this estimate is 70 per acre. The following table shows the total number of dwelling houses and the number inhabited and uninhabited in 1901, 1911, and 1913 respectively:— Year. HOUSES. Inhabited. Uninhabited. Total. 1901 15,823 516 16,339 1911 16,102 491 16,593 1913 16/638 244 16,882 Taking the number of inhabited houses for 1913 as set forth in the above table, viz., 16,638, and supposing the average number of persons per house to be 6'6, the population would be about 109,810, 6'6 will therefore be a fairly correct factor. The following table shows the number of houses, separate occupiers, and population in 1901 and 1911, distinguishing for 1911 the various kinds of buildings and the population enumerated therein, and also the buildings not used as dwellings:—
