The estimated population of the Colony at the middle of 1921 was as follows:
Non-Chinese Civil Population,......... 14,100
Chinese Civil Population:
City of Victoria (including The Peak), 360,000
Villages of Hongkong, 18,360
Kowloon (including New Kowloon), 120,000
New Territories (land),. 100,800
Population afloat, 73,420
Total Chinese population, 672,580
Total Civil population, 686,680
The above figures were estimated at the end of 1920 and were used for calculating weekly and monthly death rates throughout the year and for the reason have also been used in calculating the annual death and birth rates appearing in this report.
A census of the Colony was taken on April 24th, 1921, but the figures therefrom were not available until near the end of the year.
A summary of the figures resulting from the census gives the total population then enumerated as 625,166 but this figure was, for reasons given by the census officer in his report, thought to be too low.
