What stands out about health in Radisson
Harder circumstances
Statistics Canada’s deprivation index places Radisson at 4.0 of 5 for situational vulnerability, close to the top band. The wider area ↓
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.
Radisson 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: #91 of 185 in Manitoba and #1,482 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.
How the 5 health regions in Manitoba compare on life expectancy
Regional life expectancy in Manitoba, then the town’s place on the national deprivation index.
Life expectancy at birth by health region · 2022/2024
The region comes 2nd of 5 in Manitoba, where life expectancy runs from 68.5 to 80.7 years.
Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation · national quintile, 1 least to 5 most deprived
Higher means more deprived: the bars average the quintiles of the areas Radisson’s residents live in, and none of them counts toward Health.

Barely ahead of regions as deprived
Compared region with region (102 health regions, each figure shared by all its towns); Radisson’s region is near the line.
Use the deprivation index alone and Radisson’s region, at 3.3, should live about 79.9 years, the trend through 102 regions (correlation −0.83), and it reaches 80.0, near enough. Its 10 closest matches on deprivation lean longer-lived: 6 of them above it, a median of 81.2.

Getting to hospital from Radisson: 3.8 km on average
Measured from where the town’s residents live, so this part is Radisson’s own, not the region’s.
For distance to care Radisson is ordinary: 3.1 km is the typical figure in Manitoba, 3.7 km for 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
- Adjusted for age. Because older people report more illness, the grade uses age-standardised shares; the charts above show the unadjusted answers.
- 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.
- 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. Roads, rivers and ferries aren’t in it: the figure is a straight line from where people live, averaged over residents.
- Regional figures. Every place in the health region carries the same survey and life-expectancy figures; what is measured for Radisson itself is the trip to care.
- 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.
