Health in Oneida 41 · CCHS 2023/2024, Statistics Canada
Very good or excellent health for 52% of adults in Oneida 41’s health region
Women in the region live to 84.2 and men to 79.6, 81.9 years taken together (2022/2024). What sets Oneida 41 apart within its region is a longer trip to hospital, 18 km for the average resident (3.7 km typical). As a First Nations reserve, Oneida 41 can be graded for health but gets no overall grade and no place in ranked lists. The health survey doesn’t interview people living on reserves, so these regional figures describe the surrounding region, not Oneida 41. Health gives Oneida 41 a grade of B.

Health Grade
Oneida 41 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 (52%)Better than 55% of Canadian towns
Chronic conditions (18%)Better than 38% of Canadian towns
Smokers (11%)Better than 90% of Canadian towns
Life expectancy (81.9)Better than 73% of Canadian towns
Distance to a hospital (18 km)Better than 31% 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.

The comparison runs between 102 health regions, each shared by its towns; Oneida 41’s region’s dot is close to 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 Oneida 41’s region is a typical case: 81.9 years at a score of 2.7, where the trend says 81.9. Even beside regions as deprived, it stands out: 7 of its 10 closest matches fall short, their median 81.3 years. The towns here bring in about $80,000 a household, below the typical region, while living longer than it; that is why income, which correlates at just 0.14 with life expectancy across regions, isn’t the measure.
Life expectancy: Statistics Canada table 13-10-0988, 2022/2024, by health region. Deprivation: Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation 2021 (situational vulnerability), averaged over each region’s towns by their residents; income: 2021 Census median household income, averaged the same way.

How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Regional figures. Only the distances on this page belong to Oneida 41 alone, because the health survey and life expectancy come for the whole health region.
