Ward profiles: City of Greater Sudbury

The following includes information on the distribution of people living in areas of high deprivation across the City of Greater Sudbury by city wards. Also included are maps that identify the areas of least, neutral, and most deprivation within the various wards in the City of Greater Sudbury.

The maps do not represent rates of particular health outcomes within the areas or the health status of individual residents. For example, the overall rate of premature mortality (i.e. dying before age 75) in the City of Greater Sudbury’s most deprived areas is nearly twice as high as in the City’s least deprived areas. However, not every geographic area that is categorized as “most deprived” will have the same rate of premature mortality, nor will every resident within those most deprived areas.

What can you do?

Just as every community has challenges to overcome, each also exhibits great resilience, strengths, and opportunities for health. These actions span community interests from economic development to food security, health care access to housing. The actions that will have the most impact in each ward, and across the City of Greater Sudbury, will be best informed by our collective knowledge and experience.
