DECLINE IN DEATH RATE
OF NEGRO POPULATION
Census Bulletin Gives Figures for
19G0-1910 Decade-0ne Rea-
son Assigned.

Directing attention to a decrease il
the death rate of the negro population
of the country far in excess of the de
crease in that for the white population
the bureau of the census. in n state
raent. attributes the fact to the in
creased home ownership among the ne.
gro population. The negro mortality
statistics are for 1910. and the de-
crease was noted in the comparison
with the figures of 1900.
Undoubtedly one of the factors
which has caused the decrease in the
death rate-which decrease is almost
universal in the cities of the south
is the increase in home ownership
among the negro population. The own
ership of homes data for the northern
states and cities is not available, and
what is presented here relates only to
the south.
Figures for Decade Given.
In the decade from 1900 to 1910 the
mum Der of homes owned by negroes in
the southern states increased by 102,-
of". or 31.a per cent. this advance COW
ering increase in farm homes of 30.449.
or l6.7 per cent. and in other homes of
1c.463 or 49.S per cent. which repre-
sents the number of homes in 1870
Discussing the decline in the death
rate among the negroes. the census
bureau takes as a basis for its calcu-
lations the so-cailed registration area,
which contained 49, per cent of the
total number of negroes in the United
States In 1910. The deaths in the area
numbered 49,499. with a death rate of
"5.o per 1000 population-a decrease as
compared with the rate in 1900, which
was c9.t per cent.
Decrease in Both Races.
Both negroes and whites show de-
creases in death rate in 1910, as conf
pared with 1900. according to the bull
ietin. the decline for the negroes being
81 and for white rs per 1000 popula-
ton. Every city in the south. except
Key West, Fla. and Memphis, Tenn,
showed a lower death rate for negroes
in 1910 than in 1900
The general tendency, says the bull
letin further, appears to be in the di-
rection of declining death rate for
negroes in the registration cities. the
decrease being somewhat greater for
negroes than for whites: as a result,
the difference between the death rate
for negroes and for whites in these
cities was not as great in 1910 as
decade earlier.
