Less chronic illness
High blood pressure (21%) and diabetes (8.2%) keep the region’s chronic-condition figure below the typical Canadian town’s. Conditions and habits ↓
Survey and life expectancy: the health region (Statistics Canada). Distances and deprivation: the town’s own areas.
Entrelacs 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.
The nearest hospital is 23 km from the average home in Entrelacs
Measured from where the town’s residents live, so this part is Entrelacs’ own, not the region’s.
From Entrelacs that is further than the 5.3 km of the typical town in Quebec, and the 3.7 km of the typical Canadian town.

Longer lives than deprivation would give: 1.7 years ahead of the trend
Every town shares its health region’s figures, so this compares 102 regions; the one holding Entrelacs’ lies above the line.
Across Canada’s 102 health regions, life expectancy falls as deprivation rises (correlation −0.83). For a region whose residents average 3.1 on the index, the line expects 80.3 years; Entrelacs’ region reaches 82.0. It tops the 10 regions closest to it on the index, which centre on 80.9 years. A household income of about $81,000, 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
- Regional figures. Only the distances on this page belong to Entrelacs alone, because the health survey and life expectancy come for the whole health region.
- 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.
- Adjusted for age. Because older people report more illness, the grade uses age-standardised shares; the charts above show the unadjusted answers.
- Deprivation is context. None of the four deprivation scores enters the grade; they come from the 2021 index, which skips the territories.
- 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.
- Who the survey asks. The survey’s frame skips reserves and other Indigenous settlements, institutions, the Forces and two Québec regions, so their figures come from elsewhere or not at all.
