Rogersville 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.
Getting to hospital from Rogersville: 31 km on average
Measured from where the town’s residents live, so this part is Rogersville’s own, not the region’s.
Rogersville is further out than the provincial norm of 11 km in New Brunswick, and than the typical Canadian town at 3.7 km. Few clinics are listed in New Brunswick, so the distance to one reads longer than it is.

As long-lived as regions this deprived, if slightly longer
Regions, not towns, with every town in a region sharing its dot: of the 102, the marked one, Rogersville’s, follows the trend.
The line through 102 regions (correlation −0.83) gives a score of 2.9 about 81.3 years; Rogersville’s region’s 81.5 is within a year of it. Narrow the field to the 10 regions most like it on deprivation and it still beats 8, with 80.9 years in the middle. On income alone, around $73,000 a household, this region would be expected to fare worse than most, yet it lives longer; between regions the link is weak (0.14).

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Deprivation is context. None of the four deprivation scores enters the grade; they come from the 2021 index, which skips the territories.
- 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. 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.
- Distances are straight lines. A straight line from each neighbourhood’s centre to the nearest facility, weighted by who lives there, is shorter than any drive.
- Regional figures. Statistics Canada reports the survey and life expectancy by health region, not by town: Rogersville shares them with its neighbours, while the distances are measured for it alone.
- What counts as a hospital. Hospitals and clinics come from Statistics Canada’s facilities database, built from provincial lists of different dates, and a listed hospital may have no emergency department.
