Health Grade
Englehart 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.
Very good or excellent health (54%)Better than 60% of Canadian towns
Chronic conditions (19%)Better than 30% of Canadian towns
Smokers (15%)Better than 31% of Canadian towns
Life expectancy (77.0)Better than 7% of Canadian towns
Distance to a hospital (0.5 km)Better than almost every Canadian town
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.
Conditions and habits
26% of the region’s adults have high blood pressure and 11% diabetes

For its deprivation
Life expectancy about where the region’s deprivation puts it, a shade above
Every town shares its health region’s figures, so this compares 102 regions; the one holding Englehart’s lies near the line.
Situational vulnerability: residents’ average quintile, 1 least to 5 most deprivedLife expectancy at birth (years)
Deprivation explains most of the gap between regions (correlation −0.83 over 102), and Englehart’s region is a typical case: 77.0 years at a score of 4.2, where the trend says 76.5. The 10 regions scored most like it mostly do better (7 of 10), with a median of 78.5.

How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
•
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. 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. They run from where residents live, not along roads, so they understate a drive; each dissemination area counts by its 2021 population.
•
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.
•
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 Englehart’s own.
•
Deprivation is context. Statistics Canada’s 2021 deprivation index describes the town’s own areas for context only, with no index for the territories.
