Tingwick 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.
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 Tingwick: 11 km on average
Measured from where the town’s residents live, so this part is Tingwick’s own, not the region’s.
Residents of Tingwick travel further than most of the province: the typical town in Quebec is 5.3 km from a hospital, the typical Canadian town 3.7 km.

1.6 years above the line for regions this deprived
These are health regions, 102 of them, not towns: the survey and life expectancy are published that way, so the dot for Tingwick’s region, above the line, stands for every town in it.
Deprivation explains much of the gap between regions (correlation −0.83 over 102 of them), yet Tingwick’s region beats it: 81.6 years against the 80.0 the trend gives a score of 3.2. Set beside its 10 nearest neighbours on the index, it outlives the majority, 7 of 10; their median is 80.5 years. Households here earn around $62,000, less than in most regions, but the region still outlives most; across regions income barely tracks life expectancy (correlation 0.14).

High blood pressure for 21% of adults in the region, diabetes for 8.2%

What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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.
- 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.
- Regional figures. Only the distances on this page belong to Tingwick alone, because the health survey and life expectancy come for the whole health region.
- 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.
- 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.
- Adjusted for age. Because older people report more illness, the grade uses age-standardised shares; the charts above show the unadjusted answers.
