Beating its deprivation on life expectancy
Set against regions as deprived (3.7), Ste. Anne’s region gains years: 80.7 where the trend says 78.3. 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.
Ste. Anne 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. Its place: #135 of 185 in Manitoba and #2,049 of 2,583 Canadian towns.
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.
Longer lives than deprivation would give: 2.4 years ahead of the trend
These are health regions, 102 of them, not towns: the survey and life expectancy are published that way, so the dot for Ste. Anne’s region, above the line, stands for every town in it.
The trend over 102 regions (correlation −0.83) is clear, and Ste. Anne’s region sits above it: 80.7 years where a score of 3.7 predicts 78.3. It tops the 10 regions closest to it on the index, which centre on 78.2 years.

Straight-line distances from each part of Ste. Anne, weighted by who lives there.
From Ste. Anne that is further than the 3.1 km of the typical town in Manitoba, and the 3.7 km of the typical Canadian town. The clinic list is thin in Manitoba: the facilities database holds few clinics there, so the clinic distance overstates the trip.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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.
- Who the survey asks. The health survey leaves out people living on reserves, full-time Canadian Forces members, people in institutions, and Nunavik and the Cree lands of James Bay.
- 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.
- 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.
- Regional figures. Only the distances on this page belong to Ste. Anne alone, because the health survey and life expectancy come for the whole health region.
- Deprivation is context. None of the four deprivation scores enters the grade; they come from the 2021 index, which skips the territories.
