About the maps
Ecumene
Health regions
Ecumene is a term used by geographers to mean inhabited land. It
generally refers to land where people have made their permanent home,
and to all work areas that are considered occupied and used for agricultural
or any other economic purposes. Thus, there can be various types of
ecumenes, each having their own unique characteristics (such as
population ecumene, agricultural ecumene, industrial ecumene, etc.). In
this case, the 1996 Census national population ecumene was used. It is
defined as all enumeration areas with a minimum population density of 0.4
persons per square kilometre. To ensure visibility for small scale thematic
mapping, the detailed ecumene limits are manually generalized and small
non-contiguous ecumene pockets are aggregated.
The ecumene was used to present health-related data in order to emphasize
those areas in Canada where most people live. Within each health region
boundary on the map, there may be two colours present: grey and one
other colour. The other colour signifies both the ecumene itself and the
level of statistical significance of the data (see below for further details).
However, the grey portion (if any), while representing the non-ecumene
area, is still assumed to have the same data/rates and level of statistical
significance as the ecumene area.
Although the national ecumene was designed to present census division
level data, it has been used here to map health region data. To show data
for Région des Terres-Cries de la Baie-James in Quebec, a star symbol is
used because the ecumene does not differentiate the communities
comprising this health region from the surrounding health regions of
Région du Nord-du-Québec and Région du Nunavik.
The health region boundaries are defined by provincial governments as the
areas of responsibility for regional health boards (i.e., legislated) or as
regions of interest to health care authorities.
To effectively compare areas with similar socio-economic characteristics,
health regions have been aggregated into “peer groups” using a statistical
method. The final result is a set of ten peer groups ranging in size from 5 to
34 health regions with membership crossing provincial boundaries.
Health regions are identified by a four-digit code code, which can be seen
using the Zoom function of Adobe Acrobatâ. Peer groups are classified
by letters A through J which have been added to the health region code in
this map series. For more information about health regions and peer
groups, refer to ‘About Health Indicators’ in this product.
Quintile
The indicators for all of the health regions were ranked from low to high
and divided into quintiles based on equal numbers of health regions (i.e.,
roughly one-fifth of all health regions are represented within each quintile).
Each quintile was coloured differently and the range of values within each
health region quintile are presented.
For more information about data sources and limitations see the Data
quality, concepts and methodology section as well as the table
footnotes.
