Barnet population

The boundaries of Barnet have changed so frequently, therefore it is difficult to give accurate population figures. The pre-1860s civil parishes of Hadley, Chipping Barnet, South Mimms, and East Barnet are not consistent with the later urban districts. Only figures for between 1901 and 1961 can be produced with any consistency.
