Each input ranked against Canadian towns of 2,500 or more: the region’s four, the town’s distance to a hospital.
Very good or excellent health (49%)Better than 32% of Canadian towns
Chronic conditions (18%)Better than 44% of Canadian towns
Smokers (14%)Better than 38% of Canadian towns
Life expectancy (80.0)Better than 41% of Canadian towns
Distance to a hospital (13 km)Better than 47% of Canadian towns
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.

Situational vulnerability: residents’ average quintile, 1 least to 5 most deprivedLife expectancy at birth (years)
The trend through 102 regions (correlation −0.83) gives a region scored 2.8 about 81.7 years of life. Dawn-Euphemia’s region falls short of it, at 80.0. It is outlived by 8 of the 10 regions nearest it on the index, whose median is 81.3 years. Its towns’ household income, about $83,000, sits above most regions’ while its life expectancy sits below; across regions it is the deprivation index, not income, that follows lives (income’s correlation: 0.14).

How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
•
Who the survey asks. The health survey leaves out people living on reserves, full-time Canadian Forces members, people in institutions, and Nunavik and the Cree lands of James Bay.
•
Adjusted for age. The grade’s three survey shares are age-standardised to Canada’s adults, so an older region isn’t marked down for age alone, while the survey charts show answers as given.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Deprivation is context. None of the four deprivation scores enters the grade; they come from the 2021 index, which skips the territories.
•
Regional figures. Every place in the health region carries the same survey and life-expectancy figures; what is measured for Dawn-Euphemia itself is the trip to care.
