Sainte-Eulalie 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.
From Sainte-Eulalie, a hospital is 27 km away on average
Measured from where the town’s residents live, so this part is Sainte-Eulalie’s own, not the region’s.

Longer-lived than its deprivation suggests, by 1.6 years
Compared region with region (102 health regions, each figure shared by all its towns); Sainte-Eulalie’s region is above the line.
Ranked from least to most deprived on Statistics Canada’s index, regions see lives shorten along the way (correlation −0.83, 102 regions). Scored 3.2, Sainte-Eulalie’s region would be expected to reach 80.0 years; it reaches 81.6. Narrow the field to the 10 regions most like it on deprivation and it still beats 7, with 80.5 years in the middle. Income would point the wrong way: households in the region’s towns earn about $62,000, less than in most regions, yet lives here are longer than in most (across regions, income and life expectancy correlate at just 0.14).

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Adjusted for age. Because older people report more illness, the grade uses age-standardised shares; the charts above show the unadjusted answers.
- Who the survey asks. People on reserves and in institutions, full-time military members and the residents of Nunavik and Eeyou Istchee aren’t interviewed by the survey.
- 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.
- 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.
- Deprivation is context. Statistics Canada’s 2021 deprivation index describes the town’s own areas for context only, with no index for the territories.
- Regional figures. Every place in the health region carries the same survey and life-expectancy figures; what is measured for Sainte-Eulalie itself is the trip to care.
