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: #128 of 185 in Manitoba and #1,893 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.
Deprivation would predict shorter lives: 2.4 years more here
Each dot is a health region, not a town, its figures shared by every town in it; Ste. Anne’s region sits above the trend line through 102 regions.
The line through 102 regions (correlation −0.83) puts a deprivation score of 3.7 at 78.3 years of life; Ste. Anne’s region does better, at 80.7. Against the 10 regions with the nearest deprivation scores, none lives longer; the middle of the group is 78.2 years.

Deprivation: Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation 2021 (situational vulnerability), averaged over each region’s towns by their residents; income: 2021 Census median household income, averaged the same way. The averages and the line are TownRatings calculations.
Getting to hospital from Ste. Anne: 0.7 km on average
Measured from where the town’s residents live, so this part is Ste. Anne’s own, not the region’s.
From Ste. Anne that is nearer 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Who the survey asks. People on reserves and in institutions, full-time military members and the residents of Nunavik and Eeyou Istchee aren’t interviewed by the survey.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
