    AREA AND POPULATION Population tables are again reproduced in some detail. Although not necessarily up-to-date they contain the most recent information available for the Borough and it was felt appropriate to include them in their present form to provide readily accessible information and for purposes of comparison in subsequent reports. Care should be exercised in comparing one table with another to differentiate between Census figures and Registrar General's estimates. It will be noted that between the 1951 and 1961 Census there was a decline of 7056 in total population of the area, an average of approximately 700 persons per year. Subsequent annual average figures between 1961 and 1965 based on Registrar General's estimated mid-year figures show a diminished rate of reduction at approximately 650 persons per year. 1 in 8 of the population was aged 65 years or over at the 1961 Census.
