Mayfair 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. Its place: #11 of 102 in Saskatchewan and #1,187 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.
16% of the region’s adults have high blood pressure and 7.2% diabetes

Life expectancy across the 7 health regions in Saskatchewan
What Statistics Canada publishes above the town: life expectancy for each health region in Saskatchewan, and the deprivation index for the town’s own areas.

Statistics Canada scores every small area from 1 to 5 on each dimension; Mayfair’s bars are its residents’ average, shown and not graded.

Deprivation all but predicts the region’s life expectancy, which falls just short of the trend
Plotted region by region (102 in all, since towns have no figures of their own), Mayfair’s region comes out on the trend.
Use the deprivation index alone and Mayfair’s region, at 2.7, should live about 81.8 years, the trend through 102 regions (correlation −0.83), and it reaches 81.4, near enough. Among the 10 regions closest to it on the index, shorter lives win out: 6 of the 10, around a median of 81.3 years.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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.
- Regional figures. Every place in the health region carries the same survey and life-expectancy figures; what is measured for Mayfair itself is the trip to care.
- Who the survey asks. The health survey leaves out people living on reserves, full-time Canadian Forces members, people in institutions, and Nunavik and the Cree lands of James Bay.
- Deprivation is context. The Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation (2021) is context, never graded, and the territories have none.
- 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.
- 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.
