Teulon 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.

How the 5 health regions in Manitoba compare on life expectancy
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.
Life expectancy at birth by health region · 2022/2024
Of the 5 health regions in Manitoba, 4th place goes to this one, between a low of 68.5 and a high of 80.7.
Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation · national quintile, 1 least to 5 most deprived
These four scores average the national quintile of the areas where Teulon’s residents live; they carry no weight in the grade.
Life expectancy: Statistics Canada table 13-10-0988, three-year estimate 2022/2024, by health region.
Longer-lived than its deprivation suggests, by 0.9 years
The comparison runs between 102 health regions, each shared by its towns; Teulon’s region’s dot is above the line.
Life expectancy and deprivation move in opposite directions across 102 regions (correlation −0.83); at 3.9, the expected figure is 77.6 years, and Teulon’s region does better with 78.5. Among its 10 nearest neighbours on the index it sits mid-table: 5 above, 5 below, a median of 78.5 years. A household income of about $84,000, high for a region, doesn’t come with longer lives here; across regions the two barely move together (correlation 0.14).

The nearest hospital is 0.5 km from the average home in Teulon
Straight-line distances from each part of Teulon, weighted by who lives there.
From Teulon that is nearer than the 3.1 km of the typical town in Manitoba, and the 3.7 km of the typical Canadian town. Few clinics are listed in Manitoba, so the distance to one reads longer than it is.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Who the survey asks. Not everyone is in the survey’s sample: reserves, the Canadian Forces, institutions and two northern Québec regions are left out.
- Regional figures. Only the distances on this page belong to Teulon alone, because the health survey and life expectancy come for the whole health region.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
