Care access and life expectancy are shown for context, not graded.
From 2016 to 2025, 341 residents of Rignac died, against 305 expected from France’s death rates at each age: 12% more. Its care home for older people (82 places) counts its residents as Rignac’s; allowing for it, deaths were 12% below expected. The adjustment lowers most towns’ figures, so the comparison is what counts: the median of compared French towns is 12% below expected. The care-home adjustment is a TownRatings modeling step, not an official statistic.
