    VITAL STATISTICS. BIRTHS. L?£e 3 TABLE 1 Showing the yearly number of live births, estimated mid-year population and birth rate per 1,000 population for this district since 1962. YEAR 1969 1968 1967 1966 1965 1964 1963 1962 Number of live births 103 94 101 112 122 115 134 130 Estimated mid-year population 7,760 7,860 7,970 8,070 8,130 8,210 8,320 3,390 Birth rate per 1,000 population 13.3 12.0 12.7 13.9 15.0 14.0 16.1 13.5 , , /|E Th® number llve births assigned to this district for the year otalled 103 (^5 males and 58 females) which represents an increase of 9 births ae compared with the previous year. There were 6 illegitimate births (3 males and 3 females) in the 103 live births which is an increase of 2 over the previous year. The illegitimate live births as a percentage of all live births was 6 for this district as compared with a figure of 8 nationally. The birth rate per 1,000 population for the year was 13.3 which represents an increase as compared with a figure of 12.0 for the previous year, but is well below the national figure of 16.3. The natural increase (i.e. births over deaths) for the year acrain shows a deficit which is 21. 6 Stillbirths for the year numbered 1 (1 male) which was a decrease of 3 compared with the previous year. The stillbirth rate was 10 per 1,000 total live and stillbirths compared with the national figure of 13. The local crude birth rate of 13.3 per 1,000 population may be compared with the national rate for the year of 16.3 (provisional) if the local crude rate is multiplied by a comparability factor of 1.16 which gives a local adjusted birth rate of 15.4.
