From time to time people ask us where to find population data and statistics. We wanted to bring your attention to The Manitoba Health Population Report and the RHA Indicators Atlas.
In the Manitoba Health Population Report http://www.gov.mb.ca/health/population/ you’ll find data on population by age and gender, deaths, and First Nations peoples. This is broken out by old and new regions and is current as of June 1, 2012.
The 2013 RHA Indicators Atlas from the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy http://mchp-appserv.cpe.umanitoba.ca/reference//RHA_2013_web_version.pdf takes the raw data from Manitoba Health a step further. You’ll find information on life expectancy, mortality rates, cause of death, socioeconomic factors, information about common physical illness’, mental illness, physician services, hospitals services, diagnostic services, use of personal care homes and much more.
Need statistics? You can’t go wrong starting with these two key documents. An added bonus is that they are free on the web.
