Survey and life expectancy: the health region (Statistics Canada). Distances and deprivation: the town’s own areas.
Devon 30 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.
23% of the region’s adults have high blood pressure and 9.4% diabetes

Deprivation predicts more: the region falls 1.0 years short of the trend
These are health regions, 102 of them, not towns: the survey and life expectancy are published that way, so the dot for Devon 30’s region, below the line, stands for every town in it.
Where residents average 2.9 on the index, regions tend to reach 81.1 years (correlation −0.83, 102 regions); the one Devon 30 belongs to trails at 80.1. Its 10 closest matches on deprivation lean longer-lived: 9 of them above it, a median of 81.2.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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.
- 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. The survey figures and life expectancy are published for the health region, so every town in it shares them and only the distances are Devon 30’s own.
- 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.
- 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.
