The percentage of good or excellent oral health was lower among Middlesex-London residents who lived in rural locations (80.6%) compared to those living in urban areas (87.1%). This pattern was not observed when looking at Ontario and Peer Group data, which each had approximately equal percentages between urban and rural locations (not shown).
