Vincent 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.
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: #533 of 866 in Ontario and #1,635 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.
From Vincent, a hospital is 1.1 km away on average
Measured from where the town’s residents live, so this part is Vincent’s own, not the region’s.
Residents of Vincent are closer than most of the province: the typical town in Ontario is 3.3 km from a hospital, the typical Canadian town 3.7 km.

As long-lived as regions this deprived, if slightly longer
Each dot is a health region, not a town, its figures shared by every town in it; Vincent’s region sits on the trend line through 102 regions.
Canada’s 102 health regions show life expectancy dropping as deprivation climbs (correlation −0.83); a region scored 3.0 would be expected to reach 81.0 years, and Vincent’s region is close, at 81.2. Even beside regions as deprived, it stands out: 5 of its 10 closest matches fall short, their median 80.9 years.

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.
- 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.
- Deprivation is context. The Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation (2021) is context, never graded, and the territories have none.
- 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 Vincent’s own.
- 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. 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.
