Its population numbers 634,729 persons. In 1801 the population was 250,723; it is now therefore, about two-and-a-half times as great as it was a Century ago. The Administrative County, together with two County Boroughs, contains an area of 805,482 statute acres, and a population of 708,439, against 654,563 in 1891, an increase of 8.2 per cent.; the number of inhabited houses is 141,891, against 125,826 in 1891, an increase of 12.8 per cent.; of uninhabited houses the number is 12,052, against 8,911 in 1891, an increase of 35.2 per cent.; and of houses building, 1,252, against 947 in 1891, an increase of 32:2 per cent. Of the 12,052 uninhabited houses, 4,367 were "In Occupation," that is, utilised for business or other purposes, but without inmates on Census night. The Registration County contains an area of 712,757 statute acres, and a population of 648,627. The differences between the Ancient, the Administrative, and the Registration County are set forth in Table 2. The respective boundaries of the Administrative and of the Registration County are delineated on the Map attached. Where comparative figures are quoted, those for 1891 relate to areas as constituted in 1901, unless otherwise stated. AND 3. TARY CON TABLE 4. The Ancient County of Gloucester is divided, for Parliamentary purposes, into 10 PARLIAMEN Constituencies-5 Divisions of the County and 5 Boroughs or Divisions of Boroughs; STITUENCIES. the County also includes part of the South Division of the Parliamentary Borough of Bristol, the greater part of which is in Somersetshire. The Parliamentary Boroughs of Cheltenham and Gloucester each return one Member; and Bristol with 4 Divisions, 3 of which are entirely within the County of Gloucester, returns one Member for each Division. CAL PARISHES. There are 408 Ecclesiastical Parishes or Districts situated wholly or partly within the ECCLESIASTIAncient County of Gloucester. Of these 408 Parishes or parts of Parishes, 311, with an TABLE 5. aggregate population of 318,642, are within the Diocese of Gloucester; 92, with a population of 315,547, in that of Bristol; 4 parts of Parishes, with a population of 524, in that of Worcester; and part of the Parish of Broughton Poggs, St. Peter, with a population of 16, in that of Oxford. TIVE COUNTY BOROUGHS. The Administrative County contains a population of 331,539, and the two County ADMINISTRABoroughs contain a population of 376,900, the aggregate population thus amounting to AND COUNTY 708,439. The increase in the Administrative County since 1891, apart from the County Boroughs, is 7,559, or only 2-3 per cent.; in the County Boroughs 46,317, or 140 per cent.; and in the total population 53,876, or 8-2 per cent. TABLE SESSIONAL The Administrative County has one Court of Quarter Sessions, and is divided into PETTY 24 Petty Sessional Divisions. The Cities and County Boroughs of Bristol and Gloucester DIVISIONS. and the Municipal Borough of Tewkesbury have separate Commissions of the Peace and TABLE 7. separate Courts of Quarter Sessions. OF URBAN The total population of Urban Districts, including County and Municipal Boroughs, AGGREGATES amounts to 478,739, and that of Rural Districts to 229,700. The population in the Urban AND RURAL Districts has increased by 51,978, or 12.2 per cent., since 1891, and that in the Rural Districts by 1,898, or only 0.8 per cent. TBALE 8. COUNTY BOROUGHS, MUNICIPAL BOROUGHS, AND OTHER URBAN The County contains 2 County Boroughs, 2 Municipal Boroughs, and 12 other Urban Districts. The following Table shows the increase of population since 1891 in each County Borough, and in the Municipal Borough of Cheltenham; in no other Municipal Borough and in no Urban District does the population exceed 20,000 :– --- RURAL DISTRICTS TABLE 10. CIVIL REGISTRATION TENEMENTS. TABLE 19. TENEMENTS IN COUNTY ETC. TABLE 20. MARRIAGES, BIRTHS, DEATHS, AND .. Within the Administrative County there are 18 entire Rural Districts, and parts of 5 others, containing an aggregate population of 229,700. This represents 32.4 per cent. of the entire population of the County. The number of Civil Parishes within the Administrative County is 357, and in the County Boroughs 2. I The Registration County of Gloucester contains a population of 648,627, and is divided into 17 Registration Districts, all of which are co-extensive with the Poor Law Parishes or Unions of the same names. These Districts are again sub-divided into 53 Sub-Districts. In Table 12, besides comparative figures of houses and of population in 1891 and 1901, a column is given to show the number of Families or Separate Occupiers in each Registration District and Sub-District, and in each Civil Parish. These amount to 143,738, giving an average of 4.5 persons to a family. It may here be stated, though the figures are not presented in Tabular form, that the population, as shown in the Tables, includes a total of 219 persons-131 Males and 88 Females-who were enumerated as having passed the Census night in Barns, Sheds, Caravans, etc. 'The total number of separate Tenements in the Administrative County together with the County Boroughs, which had been 142,677 in 1891, rose to 156,765 in 1901, the increase being equal to 9.9 per cent. Of this total, the Tenements containing five or more rooms increased from 78,404 to 100,176, equal to 27.8 per cent., while those with fewer than five rooms decreased from 64,273 to 56,589, equal to 120 per cent. Stated in another way, the Tenements with five or more rooms were equal to 550 per cent. of the total Tenements in 1891, and increased to 63.9 per cent. at the recent Census, while the percentage of the Tenements with fewer than five rooms declined from 45.0 to 36.1. A marked decrease is shown since 1891 in the number of one, two, three, and four-roomed Tenements in which more than two persons per room were enumerated. Thus the number of one-roomed Tenements each containing more than two persons decreased from 940 to 420; the number of two-roomed Tenements each containing more than four persons, from 1,809 to 892; the number of three-roomed Tenements each containing more than six persons, from 1,994 to 1,317, and the number of four-roomed Tenements each containing more than eight persons, from 1,315 to 969. In the aggregate of Urban Districts the proportion of Tenements with fewer than five rooms to the total number of Tenements is 32.9 per cent., and in the aggregate of Rural Districts it is 42.4 per cent. The proportion of Tenements with fewer than five rooms, which averages 36·1 per cent., in the entire Administrative County, is 21.1 in Gloucester, 26:8 in Cheltenham, and 35.7 in Bristol. Table 22 shows the increase or decrease of population in the Registration County and its Registration Districts, as compared with the difference between registered Births and Deaths: the Table has been extended by the addition of a column showing the balance of change which must be ascribed to Migration.
