The Tenement Districts Compared with
Those Of other Cities.

Abb9t ~ OAhfA Aiiiths
A recent census report shows that
there are 81, 600 houses in New York,
occupied by a number Of families so
great as to imply that there are
nearly four families (3.S2) for every
house in the metropolis. When it is
recalled that there are thousands Of
beautiful homes in New York occu-
pied each by one family only, that
miles Of avenues and streets are
lined with houses each individually
owned and occupied by one family
group, it viii be realized to what ex-
tent in other parts Of the city crowd.
ing occurs, when to accommodate an
average Of nearly four families to
each house the remaining houses
only are available.
Comparing the condition of New
York with Philadelphia the difference
is most marked. In Philadelphia the
average number Of families to each
house is one family and one-tenth,
as against three families and over
three-quarters in New York for each
house. In New York the average
for each house is 10 people, while in
Philadelphia the average is not &
people per house. The death rate
tells the Pest. In New York it is g
in every 1000, in Philadelphia % per
1000 While New York has 10 peo-
pie to each house, London has only
| Z, with a death rate per cent lower
than New York.
The extent Of the crOwding III New
York is made painfully apparent by
the statement Of the national census,
which shows that out Of a popula-
ton of 1000, 900 no less a number
than 1900, coo live in apartments,
flats and tenements. Still further is
this confirmed by the sanitary cen
sus made by the police in which it
was found that there were herded in
what the board of health designates
as the tenement district no less
than 276, 600 familics. This number,
exceeding quarter of million fam
lilies, averaging five persons to each,
is so great as to excite surprise that
such a condition can exist in the
chief city of the new world, where
conditions of civilization, as illus
trated by the character and number
of homes, ought to have their most
perfect exempIifcation. But the
facts as presented in official reports,
in the death rate and in the person
al observations of men and women
who take a deep interest in the con-
dition of human kind in the metrop-
oils, show a condition of density full
of danger, in which the indications
toward improvements are few and
far between. North American Re-
view.
