Health Grade
Corman 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.
Very good or excellent health (53%)Better than 58% of Canadian towns
Chronic conditions (17%)Better than 48% of Canadian towns
Smokers (13%)Better than 45% of Canadian towns
Life expectancy (81.2)Better than 58% of Canadian towns
Distance to a hospital (1.8 km)Better than 87% 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. Its place: #558 of 866 in Ontario and #1,730 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 care
The nearest hospital is 1.8 km from the average home in Corman
Measured from where the town’s residents live, so this part is Corman’s own, not the region’s.

Compared with 3.3 km for the typical town in Ontario and 3.7 km for the typical Canadian town, Corman is on the near side.
102 dots, 102 health regions: no town has its own life expectancy here, and Corman’s region shows close to the trend.
Situational vulnerability: residents’ average quintile, 1 least to 5 most deprivedLife expectancy at birth (years)
The line through 102 regions (correlation −0.83) gives a score of 3.0 about 81.0 years; Corman’s region’s 81.2 is within a year of it. It outlives 5 of the 10 regions nearest it on the index, whose median is 80.9 years.

How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
•
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.
•
Who the survey asks. The survey’s frame skips reserves and other Indigenous settlements, institutions, the Forces and two Québec regions, so their figures come from elsewhere or not at all.
•
Regional figures. Every place in the health region carries the same survey and life-expectancy figures; what is measured for Corman itself is the trip to care.
•
Deprivation is context. The Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation (2021) is context, never graded, and the territories have none.
