Community Characteristics: Population Profile August, 2016 2 Northern Saskatchewan Health Indicators

Key Messages

The two main data sources used in this report include the Saskatchewan Covered Population, used for community area, health centre service area, and health authority estimates and the Statistics Canada Annual Population estimates used for individual communities and First Nations community status areas. Additional information on First Nations populations can be found with Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada.

 In 2015, close to 40,000 individuals lived in northern Saskatchewan. Compared to the province, the northern health authorities have larger proportions of their populations in the younger age categories, while most of Saskatchewan’s population is in the middle and older age groups.

 The northern Saskatchewan health authorities have between 27.9 and 31.8 % of the population that is less than 15 years of age and only between 4.7 and 6.9% of the population aged 65 years and above. Saskatchewan has 19.3% less than 15 years and 14.5% that is 65 years and above.

 The northern Saskatchewan health authorities continue to have growing populations, increasing between 11.6 and 12.4% over the last 10 years. This equated to changes of 268, 838, and 2704 individuals in AHA, KY and MCR, respectively. Similarly, Saskatchewan increased by 14.5% over the same time period, which equated into an increase of 145,212 individuals.

 There have been shifts in the population over the last 20 years. Compared to 1996, in 2015 there have been decreases of between 6.3 and 9.0% in the proportion of the population less than 15 years of age within the three northern health authorities. At the same time, the proportion of the population aged 65 and over has increased between 1.1 and 2%. During the same time period, the proportion of the population less than 15 years of age in Saskatchewan decreased by 3.4%, while the proportion of the population aged 65 and over increased by 0.1%.

 Dependency ratio is the ratio of the combined child population (aged 0 to 19) and elderly population (aged 65 and over) compared to the working age population (aged 20 to 64). In 2014, MCRHR along with KYHR and AHA had the highest dependency ratios of all health authorities in Canada. Most of the dependency ratio in the north is attributable to the under 20 population, which makes up over 40% of the population. In comparison, Saskatchewan’s dependency ratio is more affected by the elder population, which makes up approximately 15% of its population.

 Over 85% of northern Saskatchewan people identify themselves as Aboriginal, compared to 15% in Saskatchewan. The proportion of Aboriginal people in the northern health authorities ranges from 82.5% in MCRHR to 95.9% in AHA. The proportion of the northern Saskatchewan population that self-identifies as Aboriginal is similar to some northern Canadian regions but is substantially higher than others.

 Close to 68% of the people in northern Saskatchewan identify themselves as First Nations, 19% as Metis, and fewer than 14% as non-Aboriginal. In contrast, 84% of the total Saskatchewan population self-identifies as non-Aboriginal, 5% as Métis, and 10% as First Nations.

 Although northern communities share many commonalities, they also vary greatly among one another in terms of population structures, growth rates, and self-reported Aboriginal identity.

Appendix A - Data Notes

1. Data Sources

Saskatchewan Covered Population – Covered Population is based on eligibility for health insurance benefits in Saskatchewan. All residents of Saskatchewan are included except: (a) members of the Canadian Forces and inmates of federal prisons and (b) people not yet meeting the residency requirement. The covered population estimates are derived from the person health registry system which collects information on multiple addresses, when available, in an attempt to distinguish between correspondence (i.e. mailing address) and residence addresses. In northern Saskatchewan, many communities share postal codes and thus it is difficult to determine exactly which community the person lives in. For example, La Ronge, Air Ronge, and several Lac La Ronge communities share two postal codes. First Nations are assigned residence based on band affiliation. In southern Saskatchewan, some reassignment of residence codes occurs based on additional residence information; however this does not occur in northern Saskatchewan due to the difficulty in distinguishing between residence on reserves and northern towns and villages. As a result, individuals may be assigned to a band but not an actual community. For example, many individuals are assigned to the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation as opposed to the communities of Pelican Narrows, Sandy Bay, Deschambault Lake, Southend, or Sturgeon Landing. As a result of these limitations, the covered population is thought to be a good estimation of the populations for community areas, health centre service areas, and health authorities but not individual northern communities. For further details on the covered population methodology please refer to the 2015 covered population website (http://population.health.gov.sk.ca/main.htm). Statistics Canada Annual Population Estimates – Every year, the PHU purchases data from Statistics Canada containing population estimates for First Nations community status areas and census subdivisions that fall within the boundaries of AHA, KY and MCR. First Nations community status areas are defined by the PHU using Statistics Canada defined census subdivisions. The estimates are currently based on the 2011 census counts adjusted for census net undercoverage (including adjustment for incompletely enumerated Indian reserves and population reviews). The years between 2001 and 2010 are considered final intercensal estimates, 2011 is considered a final postcensal estimate, 2012-2013 are considered updated postcensal estimates, and 2014 is considered a preliminary postcensal estimate. As the Statistics Canada estimates are based more on residence address as opposed to correspondence address (i.e. mailing address), these estimates are thought to be better at estimating individual community and First Nations community status areapopulations. 2011 National Household Survey (NHS) – The NHS provides information about the demographic, social and economic characteristics of people living in Canada, as well as the housing units in which they live. Previous to 2011, this information was collected by the mandatory long-form census questionnaire; however, in 2011, major changes in the format resulted in this data being collected as part of the voluntary NHS. The survey was distributed to a random sample of 33% of all private dwellings in Canada, which resulted in varying response rates. Data has been released at various levels of geography including Canada, provinces and territories, census metropolitan areas/census agglomerations, census divisions, census subdivisions, census tracts, federal electoral districts and health regions.

Dependency Ratio CANSIM Table – Statistics Canada. Table 109-5346 - Dependency ratio (2011 Census and administrative data), by age group for July 1st, Canada, provinces, territories, health regions (2014 boundaries) and peer groups, annual.

2. Definitions

Dependency Ratio – The ratio of the combined population aged between 0 to 19 years old and the population aged of 65 years and over, to the population aged between 20 to 64 years old. This ratio is usually presented as the number of dependents for every 100 people in the working age population. Census Subdivision (CSD) Name – Census subdivision is the general term for municipalities (as determined by provincial/territorial legislation) or areas treated as municipal equivalents for statistical purposes (e.g., Indian reserves, Indian settlements and unorganized territories). First Nations communities are often split into many separate land holding areas. For example, the community of Fond du Lac is broken up into Fond du Lac 227, 229, 231, and 232. Revised Name – The revised name uses the more commonly used community name and combines many individual First Nations IRI’s into one. For example, Black Lake is used instead of Chicken 224 and 225. Please see Appendix B for a list of revised names by their corresponding CSD characteristics. Common Name – The common name uses the more commonly used community name. Unlike the revised name it does not combine the individual First Nations communities into one larger region. This is because it is referring to NHS data that uses random rounding processes which would result in a compounding error by adding smaller communities into a larger area. First Nations Community Status Area – These areas refer to First Nations communities that would generally be considered living “on or off-reserve” in relation to many, although not all, public health and primary care services they receive. This definition of “on or off-reserve” is derived within the PHU and may not match up identically with other definitions such as census geographies. For example, Pelican Narrows IRI and Pelican Narrows are both considered “on-reserve” using the PHU definition. Please see Appendix C for a list of First Nations community status areas by revised names and CSD characteristics. Community Area – A community area is a grouping of several communities that are generally in close proximity, often share postal codes and are difficult to separate into their individual communities. However, by grouping these communities together we are able to more accurately describe the sub- region as a whole by various characteristics. Please see Appendix D for a list of rescodes by community areas. Health Centre Service Area – Health centre service areas group communities based on their proximity to one another as well as the tendency for the individuals within those communities to receive hospital/health centre services from certain locations. This is, in part, due to the geographic spread of northern communities resulting in vastly different travel distances between communities and local health centres. For example, it is more realistic for individuals living in Creighton, SK to seek hospital services in Flin Flon, Manitoba then it is to travel to La Ronge, SK to receive those services. Please see Appendix E for a list of rescodes by health centre service areas.

Global Non-response Rate (GNR) – For the 2011 NHS estimates, the GNR is used as an indicator of data quality. This indicator combines complete non-response (household) and partial non-response (question) into a single rate. A higher GNR indicates a higher risk of non-response bias and as a result, a higher risk of inaccuracy. The threshold used for estimates' suppression is a GNR of 50% or more. Aboriginal Identity – In the 2011 NHS, 'Aboriginal identity' refers to whether the person reported being an Aboriginal person, that is, First Nations (North American Indian), Métis or Inuk (Inuit) and/or being a Registered or Treaty Indian (that is, registered under the Indian Act of Canada) and/or being a member of a First Nation or Indian band.
