As the population of the areas are not thus similarly constituted the Registrar General supplies comparability factors to each area, by which the crude- live birth and death rates of the area are weighted to give the adjusted rates, which are truly comparable with the adjusted rates of other areas. For this area the Live Birth rate comparability factor is 0.91 and the adjusted Live Birth-rate becomes 39.7 per 1,000. The Death- rate comparability factor is 1*27 and the adjusted Death-rate is therefore ]£•6 per 1,000.
