![24 DEATHS AND DEATH RATES. The number of Finsbury residents who died in 1909 was 1,814, equivalent to a crude death rate for the whole Borough of 19 0 per 1,000 inhabitants living. The death rate for the whole of London was 14.03 per 1,000, as compared with 14.0 and 14.6 in 1908 and 1907 respectively. CRUDE DEATH RATES. ]The Borough. North Clerkenwell. South Clerkenwell.

All these have different death rates. A district with a large number of infants and a large number of old people will have a higher death rate than one in which the inhabitants are chiefly young adults. In order to overcome the difficulty thus arising—the Registrar General has calculated a factor for correction for each district— which when multiplied into the crude death rate gives the ''corrected'' death rate available for comparison with the rates in other districts. The factor for correction in Finsbury is 1 0355. This multiplied into 19.0 the crude death rate gives a corrected death rate of 19.7 per 1,000.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b18108921_0026.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
