The non-Chinese population is mainly to be found in Health District No. 11, Kowloon Point and Hunghom, where also there are Defence forces amounting to 993. A portion of Health District 12 also has a definite non-Chinese section, and adjoining that, there are, in addition, 269 troops. In the other districts there is always a certain proportion of non-Chinese which gives a different aspect from that of Hong Kong where, in certain districts, there are practically no non-Chinese; for example, in Health Districts 6, 6A, and 7, there are altogether 21 non-Chinese out of a total population for these districts of 45,334 persons.

The following table gives the average density of population in each district and the number of persons per dwelling house :-

The average over the whole area is 53.45 persons per acre, and 11.11 persons

per house.

* In this district the density is high owing to the presence of several large hotels and board- ing houses which each count as one house only.
