2. The following table shows the estimated population for the Colony for the middle of 1933.
Non-Chinese (mostly resident in Victoria and Kowloon) 20,446 Chinese in Victoria 368,739 Chinese in Hong Kong Villages 45,286 Chinese in Kowloon and New Kowloon 286,896 Chinese in junks and sampans 100,000 Chinese in New Territories 101,276 Total 922,6433. During the year 2,787,436 persons entered and 2,712,889 persons left the Colony, making a daily average of 7,637 arrivals and 7,431 departures. The daily average for 1932 was 8,129 arrivals and 7,728 departures.
4. Registration of Births and Deaths is the rule in the urban districts but in the New Territories generally registration has not yet been fully enforced; therefore, in computing birth rates and death rates the population of the New Territories should not be taken into account.
5. The number of births registered was:
Chinese 14,909 Non-Chinese 4536. The deaths registered among the civil population number 18,161 giving a crude death rate of 22.11 per mille as compared with 24.74 for the previous year.
Deaths. Estimated Population. Death rate per mille population. Non-Chinese 233 20,446 11.39 Chinese 17,928 800,921 22.387. The number of deaths of infants under one year was Chinese 6,782, non-Chinese 40. If the figures for Chinese births represented the total births, which they do not, the infantile mortality figure for the Chinese would be 454.89 as compared with 525.28 in the previous year. The infantile mortality figure among non-Chinese was 88.30 as compared with 97.93 in 1932.
