Dalmeny 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.
16% of the region’s adults have high blood pressure and 7.2% diabetes

Deprivation all but predicts the region’s life expectancy, which falls just short of the trend
102 dots, 102 health regions: no town has its own life expectancy here, and Dalmeny’s region shows close to the trend.
More deprivation, shorter lives: that holds across the 102 regions (correlation −0.83), and Dalmeny’s region fits it, 81.4 years at 2.7 against the line’s 81.8. Even beside regions as deprived, it stands out: 6 of its 10 closest matches fall short, their median 81.3 years.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Adjusted for age. Self-rated health, chronic conditions and smoking enter the grade adjusted to Canada’s adult age mix, though the survey block prints them as people answered.
- Deprivation is context. The Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation (2021) is context, never graded, and the territories have none.
- Who the survey asks. Not everyone is in the survey’s sample: reserves, the Canadian Forces, institutions and two northern Québec regions are left out.
- 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.
- 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.
- Regional figures. Only the distances on this page belong to Dalmeny alone, because the health survey and life expectancy come for the whole health region.
