Brant Health Atlas

Welcome to the Brant Health Atlas.

The Brant Health Atlas is an interactive tool that provides up-to-date information on the health of Brant residents. The tool allows you to view this information on a map, in tables, or graphs. Information is presented on a variety of health indicators, for multiple years, and where possible by geography, such as municipality (City of Brantford and County of Brant) and neighbourhood. Information is also provided for comparator populations, such as Brant as a whole and Ontario. Health indicators are aligned with the Core Indicators developed by the Association of Public Health Epidemiologists in Ontario (APHEO). See the User Guide or the Video to learn how to navigate the Brant Health Atlas.

Below is a list of key themes which contain currently available datasets accompanied by a brief description of their content. To begin using the Atlas, please click on a theme and then select a dataset that you would like to explore.
