CENSUS VITAL STATISTICS.

Interesting Facts.


says that according 10 the last census,
75G.S93 persons died in the United
States during 1880. The death rate
for tho whole Union was therefore
| Ij.l 10 the thousand. That is n low
rate, and yet it was much higher than
that given in 1870, which was only
1873 per thousand, while the death
rate according 10 the census Of 1860
was 1915.
But the apparent increase in 1880
was due entirely 10 more complete
returns Of deaths, and even the figures
for that year cannot be regarded as
accurate. Except in comparatively
small number Of communities, vital
statistics are not gathered in the
United States after scientific system
The actual mortality Of the Union IS
probably somewhere between eighteen
and nineteen per thousand, Instead Of
little over fifteen. But that is low
rate as compared with European
countries, the death rate for the whole
Of England having been 20.5 per
thousand in 1880, and for Scotland,
2l.3 in 1875.
OF the 75Gs93 deaths recorded in
the census returns Ci0,l9l were Of
whites, out Of total white popula-
ton Of 43,4O2, $40, and llG,7O2 Of
negroes, out Of total colored popu-
lation Of G.7j28l3. The apparent
death rate, therefore, was lA7i among
the whites, and l128 among the
negroes.
OF the deaths reported 39l go were
Of males and 3Gi,93 Of females, the
total living population having been
25,5ls,s2O males and 2i,G3G.9G3
females For every thousand deaths Of
females there were 1914 Of males.
