In estimating the population of the County for mid-1950 at 316,090, the Registrar-General has included, for the first time, non-civilians, and therefore this figure is not comparable with his estimate of popula¬ tion for mid-1949 (312,700), which related to civilians only. The natural increase of population (excess of births over deaths) was 251, as compared with 321 in 1949. It is to be noted that the population of the County has more than doubled since the census of 1901, when it was 151,276, the increase being 110 per cent. The disproportionately large number of aged persons resident in West Sussex was shown in the report of the Registrar General on “Sex and Age Distribution of the Civilian Population at the 31st December, 1947.”
