Survey and life expectancy: the health region (Statistics Canada). Distances and deprivation: the town’s own areas.
Valhalla 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: #107 of 185 in Manitoba and #1,533 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.
Getting to hospital from Valhalla: 4.4 km on average
Measured from where the town’s residents live, so this part is Valhalla’s own, not the region’s.
Residents of Valhalla travel further than most of the province: the typical town in Manitoba is 3.1 km from a hospital, the typical Canadian town 3.7 km. The clinic list is thin in Manitoba: the facilities database holds few clinics there, so the clinic distance overstates the trip.

On the trend for regions as deprived, just over it
Plotted region by region (102 in all, since towns have no figures of their own), Valhalla’s region comes out on the trend.
Deprivation explains most of the gap between regions (correlation −0.83 over 102), and Valhalla’s region is a typical case: 80.0 years at a score of 3.3, where the trend says 79.9. Narrow the field to the 10 regions most like it on deprivation and 6 still live longer, with 81.2 years in the middle.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. Statistics Canada’s 2021 deprivation index describes the town’s own areas for context only, with no index for the territories.
- Regional figures. Only the distances on this page belong to Valhalla alone, because the health survey and life expectancy come for the whole health region.
