Life expectancy in the region is 81.0 years (84.1 for women, 78.2 for men, 2022/2024). For Tsinstikeptum 10 itself the measure is access: 3.4 km to the nearest hospital, much like the typical 3.7 km. Tsinstikeptum 10 is a First Nations reserve: a Health grade is possible, an overall grade and a ranking are not. The health survey doesn’t interview people living on reserves, so these regional figures describe the surrounding region, not Tsinstikeptum 10. Tsinstikeptum 10 grades B+ for health.
What stands out about health in Tsinstikeptum 10
Life expectancy under the deprivation trend
Deprivation alone, a score of 2.5, would give Tsinstikeptum 10’s region about 82.9 years; it stops at 81.0. For its deprivation ↓
From Statistics Canada: the health survey and life expectancy for the health region, the deprivation index for the town; distances from the healthcare facilities database and OpenStreetMap.
Tsinstikeptum 10 grades B+ for health
Each input ranked against Canadian towns of 2,500 or more: the region’s four, the town’s distance to a hospital.
The region’s four figures and the town’s distance to a hospital are each ranked against Canadian towns of 2,500 or more, then averaged.
How the grade works
Health is graded as a regional score, labelled as such: very good or excellent self-rated health, chronic conditions (arthritis, diabetes and high blood pressure averaged) and smoking from the Canadian Community Health Survey, each age-standardised so an older region isn’t marked down for age alone, and life expectancy at birth, all for the health region. The residents’ average distance to a hospital is the one input measured for the town itself, so towns in one region can still differ.
1.9 fewer years of life than regions as deprived
These are health regions, 102 of them, not towns: the survey and life expectancy are published that way, so the dot for Tsinstikeptum 10’s region, below the line, stands for every town in it.
Where residents average 2.5 on the index, regions tend to reach 82.9 years (correlation −0.83, 102 regions); the one Tsinstikeptum 10 belongs to trails at 81.0. Most of the 10 regions with the nearest deprivation scores outlive it (9 of 10, median 82.9 years). On income alone, around $81,000 a household, this region would be expected to fare worse than most, yet it lives longer; between regions the link is weak (0.14).

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Regional figures. The survey figures and life expectancy are published for the health region, so every town in it shares them and only the distances are Tsinstikeptum 10’s own.
- Deprivation is context. The Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation (2021) is context, never graded, and the territories have none.
- Distances are straight lines. Each small census area is measured as the crow flies to the nearest facility and weighted by its 2021 residents, so real trips run longer.
- What counts as a hospital. Facility locations come from Statistics Canada’s open database; records without coordinates sit at their postal code, and not every hospital has an emergency room.
- Adjusted for age. Self-rated health, chronic conditions and smoking enter the grade adjusted to Canada’s adult age mix, though the survey block prints them as people answered.
