Roseland 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: #585 of 866 in Ontario and #1,812 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.
The nearest hospital is 6.0 km from the average home in Roseland
Measured from where the town’s residents live, so this part is Roseland’s own, not the region’s.
From Roseland that is further than the 3.3 km of the typical town in Ontario, and the 3.7 km of the typical Canadian town.

Each dot is a health region, not a town, its figures shared by every town in it; Roseland’s region sits above the trend line through 102 regions.
At 3.2 on the index, the trend across 102 regions (correlation −0.83) points to 80.2 years, and the region Roseland belongs to reaches 81.3. Among the 10 regions closest to it on the index, shorter lives win out: 6 of the 10, around a median of 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.
- Deprivation is context. Statistics Canada’s 2021 deprivation index describes the town’s own areas for context only, with no index for the territories.
- Adjusted for age. Because older people report more illness, the grade uses age-standardised shares; the charts above show the unadjusted answers.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Roseland’s own.
