Saint-Liboire grades A− 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: #354 of 503 in Quebec and #1,025 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 15 km from the average home in Saint-Liboire
Measured from where the town’s residents live, so this part is Saint-Liboire’s own, not the region’s.
Compared with 5.3 km for the typical town in Quebec and 3.7 km for the typical Canadian town, Saint-Liboire is on the far side.

Life expectancy at birth by health region · 2022/2024
The region comes 6th of 18 in Quebec, where life expectancy runs from 65.2 to 84.1 years.

Barely ahead of regions as deprived
Regions, not towns, with every town in a region sharing its dot: of the 102, the marked one, Saint-Liboire’s, follows the trend.
Use the deprivation index alone and Saint-Liboire’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. It outlives 7 of the 10 regions nearest it on the index, whose median is 81.4 years.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Regional figures. Only the distances on this page belong to Saint-Liboire alone, because the health survey and life expectancy come for the whole health region.
- What counts as a hospital. Facility locations come from Statistics Canada’s open database; records without coordinates sit at their postal code, and not every hospital has an emergency room.
- 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.
- Adjusted for age. Standardising for age lets a retirement region and a young one be set side by side; the charts keep the raw answers, the grade the standardised ones.
- Distances are straight lines. Each small census area is measured as the crow flies to the nearest facility and weighted by its 2021 residents, so real trips run longer.
- Deprivation is context. The Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation (2021) is context, never graded, and the territories have none.
