    The 5,768 plusage is, therefore, rather misleading, as it is obvious that migration is not the cause of the increase, but due to an accumulation of small errors in the estimated figures over the past ten years. A true comparison can only be made by comparing the actual census figures of 1951 and 1961 when available. Building of new property in the Fylde area will continue to attract young persons to live outside the borough boundary, and once again, this is borne out by an s imated increase of the population of the Lancashire County Council Health Division No. 3 of 5,780.
