Health in Longueuil: the grade is still to come
The inputs, each beside the typical one of Canadian towns: four for the health region, one for the town itself.
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.

How the 18 health regions in Quebec compare on life expectancy
What Statistics Canada publishes above the town: life expectancy for each health region in Quebec, and the deprivation index for the town’s own areas.
Life expectancy at birth by health region · 2022/2024

As long-lived as regions this deprived, if slightly longer
These are health regions, 102 of them, not towns: the survey and life expectancy are published that way, so the dot for Longueuil’s region, on the line, stands for every town in it.
Use the deprivation index alone and Longueuil’s region, at 2.7, should live about 82.1 years, the trend through 102 regions (correlation −0.83), and it reaches 82.5, near enough. Among the 10 regions closest to it on the index, shorter lives win out: 7 of the 10, around a median of 81.4 years.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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. Only the distances on this page belong to Longueuil alone, because the health survey and life expectancy come for the whole health region.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. 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.
