Winnipeg Average Health is an aggregate geography area of Winnipeg Neighbourhood Clusters that have a premature mortality rate statistically similar to the premature mortality rate of a larger area measured over 10 years. This aggregate geographical area was co-developed by MCHP and The Need To Know Team for use in MCHP research. The areas may change from project to project, based on the data used.
