Standard Death Rate or Death Rate in Standard Population is the death rate at all ages calculated on the assumption that the rates at each twelve age periods were the same as in England and Wales during 1881-90. The death rate at all ages during that period in England and Wales being 19T5 per 1000. The Factor for Correction is the figure by which the crude death rate should be multiplied in order to correct for variations of age and sex distribution. ^ 19-15 > 1 Standard death rate > The Corrected Death Rate is the crude death rate multiplied by the factor for correction. The Comparative Mortality Figure represents the comparison between the corrected death rate for each town and that recorded for England and Wales during 1897, which is taken as 1000.
