Survey and life expectancy: the health region (Statistics Canada). Distances and deprivation: the town’s own areas.
Miltonvale Park 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.
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.

Deprivation all but predicts the region’s life expectancy, which falls just short of the trend
102 dots, 102 health regions: no town has its own life expectancy here, and Miltonvale Park’s region shows close to the trend.
Deprivation explains most of the gap between regions (correlation −0.83 over 102), and Miltonvale Park’s region is a typical case: 81.2 years at a score of 2.8, where the trend says 81.6. Narrow the field to the 10 regions most like it on deprivation and it still beats 5, with 81.1 years in the middle. A household income of about $74,000, modest for a region, comes with longer lives than in most regions; across regions the two barely move together (correlation 0.14).

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Distances are straight lines. Roads, rivers and ferries aren’t in it: the figure is a straight line from where people live, averaged over residents.
- Adjusted for age. Self-rated health, chronic conditions and smoking enter the grade adjusted to Canada’s adult age mix, though the survey block prints them as people answered.
- Deprivation is context. Deprivation is shown to set the scene and doesn’t count toward the grade; Statistics Canada left the territories out of the index.
- 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.
- What counts as a hospital. A “hospital” here is whatever the provinces listed as one in Statistics Canada’s database, which can mean a site without an emergency department.
- Regional figures. Every place in the health region carries the same survey and life-expectancy figures; what is measured for Miltonvale Park itself is the trip to care.
