†Individuals residing in congregate care were not assigned to a quintile (4392 cases and 502 hospitalisations). Quintile 5 represents the highest quintile of deprivation or diversity. The material deprivation measure combines information on income, quality of housing, educational attainment and family structure characteristics to assess the ability of individuals and communities to access and attain basic material needs. The ethnic concentration dimension is based on the proportion of non-white and non-Indigenous residents and/or the proportion of immigrants who arrived in Canada within the past 5 years.
