What stands out about health in Tzeachten 13
Self-rated health runs low
Even once age is allowed for, 4.3 points fewer adults here call their health very good or excellent than in the typical town’s region (48% as answered). Health survey ↓
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.
Tzeachten 13 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.
48% in the region call their health very good or excellent, fewer than in British Columbia (50%)

Share of adults, as answered · 2023/2024
Mental health is close to the province’s: 48% rate it very good or excellent, against 49% in British Columbia, and 23% find most days quite stressful.

Deprivation predicts more: the region falls 1.5 years short of the trend
102 dots, 102 health regions: no town has its own life expectancy here, and Tzeachten 13’s region shows under the trend.
Where residents average 2.8 on the index, regions tend to reach 81.5 years (correlation −0.83, 102 regions); the one Tzeachten 13 belongs to trails at 80.0. Among the 10 regions closest to it on the index, longer lives win out: 9 of the 10, around a median of 81.2 years. Income would point the wrong way: households in the region’s towns earn about $88,000, more than in most regions, yet lives here are shorter than in most (across regions, income and life expectancy correlate at just 0.14).

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Adjusted for age. Standardising for age lets a retirement region and a young one be set side by side; the charts keep the raw answers, the grade the standardised ones.
- Deprivation is context. None of the four deprivation scores enters the grade; they come from the 2021 index, which skips the territories.
- Distances are straight lines. A straight line from each neighbourhood’s centre to the nearest facility, weighted by who lives there, is shorter than any drive.
- Regional figures. Every place in the health region carries the same survey and life-expectancy figures; what is measured for Tzeachten 13 itself is the trip to care.
- What counts as a hospital. Hospitals and clinics come from Statistics Canada’s facilities database, built from provincial lists of different dates, and a listed hospital may have no emergency department.
