The ten thinnest towns
Towns of more than 7,000 people with the fewest massage therapists per person. The last column is the nearest town with more, at or above the national rate, in a straight line.
How this is counted
Each practitioner counts in the town where they practise: the town of their clinic’s first site. Only published profiles count.
Residents come from Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivisions, and only towns of 5,000 or more people are included. A town is under half when its rate is below 50% of the national rate for that kind of care, below up to 90%, around up to 110%, and above past that.
Practitioners who don’t list online aren’t counted, so a town can read lower than it is. A town with nobody listed is our listing, not a count of everyone who practises there. Every figure is recounted each morning.

Every town of 5,000 or more, for every kind of care: practitioners listed, the rate per 10,000 people and each town’s rank in its province.
