The region’s 2022/2024 life expectancy is 81.5, with women at 83.5 and men at 79.5. For Dieppe itself the measure is access, and it lags: 6.0 km to the nearest hospital, where 3.7 km is typical. Dieppe grades B− for health, #9 of 60 in New Brunswick and #2,077 of 2,583 Canadian towns.
Dieppe 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: #9 of 60 in New Brunswick and #2,077 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.
Barely ahead of regions as deprived
102 dots, 102 health regions: no town has its own life expectancy here, and Dieppe’s region shows close to the trend.
Canada’s 102 health regions show life expectancy dropping as deprivation climbs (correlation −0.83); a region scored 2.9 would be expected to reach 81.3 years, and Dieppe’s region is close, at 81.5. Among the 10 regions closest to it on the index, shorter lives win out: 8 of the 10, around a median of 80.9 years. A household income of about $73,000, modest for a region, comes with longer lives than in most regions; across regions the two barely move together (correlation 0.14).

The nearest hospital is 6.0 km from the average home in Dieppe
Straight-line distances from each part of Dieppe, weighted by who lives there.
Residents of Dieppe are closer than most of the province: the typical town in New Brunswick is 11 km from a hospital, the typical Canadian town 3.7 km. The clinic list is thin in New Brunswick: the facilities database holds few clinics there, so the clinic distance overstates the trip.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Regional figures. Only the distances on this page belong to Dieppe alone, because the health survey and life expectancy come for the whole health region.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. People on reserves and in institutions, full-time military members and the residents of Nunavik and Eeyou Istchee aren’t interviewed by the survey.
- 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.
