Grandview grades C+ 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.
24% of the region’s adults have high blood pressure and 7.9% diabetes

From Grandview, a hospital is 3.5 km away on average
Straight-line distances from each part of Grandview, weighted by who lives there.
For distance to care Grandview is ordinary: 3.1 km is the typical figure in Manitoba, 3.7 km for the typical Canadian town. Homes are spread out: from the town’s centre of population the hospital is 0.4 km, while the average resident is 3.5 km away. The clinic list is thin in Manitoba: the facilities database holds few clinics there, so the clinic distance overstates the trip.

Longest and shortest lives among the 5 regions in Manitoba
What Statistics Canada publishes above the town: life expectancy for each health region in Manitoba, and the deprivation index for the town’s own areas.

Among the 5 regions in Manitoba, from 68.5 to 80.7 years, this one is 3rd.

Just under the trend for regions as deprived
Every town shares its health region’s figures, so this compares 102 regions; the one holding Grandview’s lies near the line.
Life expectancy and deprivation move in opposite directions across 102 regions (correlation −0.83); at 3.5, the expected figure is 79.0 years, and Grandview’s region matches it closely with 78.8. Among its 10 nearest neighbours on the index it sits mid-table: 5 above, 5 below, a median of 78.9 years.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Regional figures. Every place in the health region carries the same survey and life-expectancy figures; what is measured for Grandview itself is the trip to care.
- Who the survey asks. The survey’s frame skips reserves and other Indigenous settlements, institutions, the Forces and two Québec regions, so their figures come from elsewhere or not at all.
- Distances are straight lines. Roads, rivers and ferries aren’t in it: the figure is a straight line from where people live, averaged over residents.
- What counts as a hospital. A “hospital” here is whatever the provinces listed as one in Statistics Canada’s database, which can mean a site without an emergency department.
- Deprivation is context. Deprivation is shown to set the scene and doesn’t count toward the grade; Statistics Canada left the territories out of the index.
- 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.
