Frampton 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.
Getting to hospital from Frampton: 19 km on average
Measured from where the town’s residents live, so this part is Frampton’s own, not the region’s.
Frampton is further out than the provincial norm of 5.3 km in Quebec, and than the typical Canadian town at 3.7 km.

This region is 5th longest-lived of 18 in Quebec, on a scale from 65.2 to 84.1 years.

The index is context and never graded: it describes Frampton’s own areas, averaged over residents, on each of its four dimensions.

A region that outlives its deprivation by 0.8 years
Each dot is a health region, not a town, its figures shared by every town in it; Frampton’s region sits above the trend line through 102 regions.
Measured against 102 regions, more deprivation means shorter lives, and steadily so (correlation −0.83). Frampton’s region, at 2.7, outlives the trend’s 82.0 years with 82.8. Narrow the field to the 10 regions most like it on deprivation and it still beats 9, with 81.4 years in the middle. On income alone, around $75,000 a household, this region would be expected to fare worse than most, yet it lives longer; between regions the link is weak (0.14).

What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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.
- 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.
- Adjusted for age. Because older people report more illness, the grade uses age-standardised shares; the charts above show the unadjusted answers.
- 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.
- 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.
- Regional figures. Statistics Canada reports the survey and life expectancy by health region, not by town: Frampton shares them with its neighbours, while the distances are measured for it alone.
