On self-rated health the region tracks the province: 52% very good or excellent, 51% for Manitoba. Measured from where Crestview’s residents live, the nearest hospital is 2.3 km away, under the typical 3.7 km. Health gives Crestview a grade of B+, #50 of 185 in Manitoba and #1,346 of 2,583 Canadian towns.
Crestview 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: #50 of 185 in Manitoba and #1,346 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.
As long-lived as regions this deprived, if slightly longer
Each dot is a health region, not a town, its figures shared by every town in it; Crestview’s region sits on the trend line through 102 regions.
At 3.3 on the index, regions tend to reach 79.9 years (correlation −0.83, 102 regions), and the one Crestview belongs to reaches 80.0. Even beside regions as deprived, it lags: 6 of its 10 closest matches reach further, their median 81.2 years.

From Crestview, a hospital is 2.3 km away on average
Straight-line distances from each part of Crestview, weighted by who lives there.
Against 3.1 km for the typical town in Manitoba and 3.7 km for the typical Canadian town, Crestview sits near the middle. 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.
- Adjusted for age. The grade’s three survey shares are age-standardised to Canada’s adults, so an older region isn’t marked down for age alone, while the survey charts show answers as given.
- Distances are straight lines. They run from where residents live, not along roads, so they understate a drive; each dissemination area counts by its 2021 population.
- What counts as a hospital. The facilities database merges provincial lists of different vintages; its hospitals include some with no emergency department, and a few are placed by postal code.
- Deprivation is context. Statistics Canada’s 2021 deprivation index describes the town’s own areas for context only, with no index for the territories.
- Regional figures. Statistics Canada reports the survey and life expectancy by health region, not by town: Crestview shares them with its neighbours, while the distances are measured for it alone.

How far is Crestview from a hospital?
Beyond the hospital, the average home in Crestview is 1.2 km from a pharmacy; clinics are too sparsely listed in the province to say.
How healthy is Crestview?
More of the region’s survey and life-expectancy figures beat the typical Canadian town than trail it. The three chronic conditions the grade counts average 18% of adults.
