Corunna 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. Its place: #772 of 866 in Ontario and #2,232 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 Corunna: 13 km on average
Measured from where the town’s residents live, so this part is Corunna’s own, not the region’s.
From Corunna that is further than the 3.3 km of the typical town in Ontario, and the 3.7 km of the typical Canadian town.

Behind regions as deprived by 1.7 years of life
102 dots, 102 health regions: no town has its own life expectancy here, and Corunna’s region shows under the trend.
Use the deprivation index alone and Corunna’s region, at 2.8, should live about 81.7 years, the trend through 102 regions (correlation −0.83), but it reaches only 80.0. It is outlived by 8 of the 10 regions nearest it on the index, whose median is 81.3 years. Higher incomes, shorter lives: about $83,000 a household, above most regions’, with a life expectancy below most; income and lifespan correlate at only 0.14 across regions.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Deprivation is context. The Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation (2021) is context, never graded, and the territories have none.
- Regional figures. Only the distances on this page belong to Corunna alone, because the health survey and life expectancy come for the whole health region.
- 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.
- What counts as a hospital. Facility locations come from Statistics Canada’s open database; records without coordinates sit at their postal code, and not every hospital has an emergency room.
- Adjusted for age. Because older people report more illness, the grade uses age-standardised shares; the charts above show the unadjusted answers.
- Distances are straight lines. Each small census area is measured as the crow flies to the nearest facility and weighted by its 2021 residents, so real trips run longer.
