How many physicians are there in Ontario per 100,000 population

Ontario is split into 14 LHINs (Local Health Integration Networks). The map and the table below show how many physicians are there per 100,000 for each LHIN.

Greener color denotes a LHIN with the higher ratio of physicians to population and better availability.
Whiter color denotes a LHIN with the lower ratio of physicians to population and worse availability.

The map shows the aggregate result for overall number of physicians per population.
The table gives a breakdown by specialty of practice.

You can click around the LHINs in the list or in the map, or you can use postal code search to see what LHIN you are in.
