What kind of information will you find here?
We provide health and health-related indicators in two basic forms:
Community-level health indicators - this micro-data provides detailed statistics about populations living in communities by sex and relevant age-groups for each health indicator. We also provide information about how the community compares with the overall geography values and whether this difference is meaningful. These data are available in pdf and table format.
Ontario-wide health indicators - this macro-data provides an overview of how different communities within Ontario compare with each other with respect to specific health indicators. These data are shown on maps with different colours representing different values across communities.
