Survey and life expectancy: the health region (Statistics Canada). Distances and deprivation: the town’s own areas.
Rosemount grades A 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: #118 of 866 in Ontario and #557 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.

Life expectancy about where the region’s deprivation puts it, a shade above
102 dots, 102 health regions: no town has its own life expectancy here, and Rosemount’s region shows close to the trend.
Use the deprivation index alone and Rosemount’s region, at 2.6, should live about 82.5 years, the trend through 102 regions (correlation −0.83), and it reaches 82.8, near enough. Narrow the field to the 10 regions most like it on deprivation and it still beats 7, with 82.5 years in the middle.

Around Rosemount the health region doesn’t change, so the only column that moves is the distance to a hospital.
What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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.
- Regional figures. Statistics Canada reports the survey and life expectancy by health region, not by town: Rosemount shares them with its neighbours, while the distances are measured for it alone.
- 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.
- 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.
- Deprivation is context. None of the four deprivation scores enters the grade; they come from the 2021 index, which skips the territories.
