Care access and life expectancy are shown for context, not graded.
At birth, a girl in Bas-Rhin can expect 85 years and a boy 80.3 (2025); across France, 85.9 and 80.3. After the care-home adjustment, Seebach’s deaths ran at 97 per 100 expected, above Bas-Rhin’s towns (92) and compared French towns (88) alike. 142 deaths here between 2016 and 2025, where France’s rates at each age predict 146: 3% below.

A less sure grade: it could be anywhere from D to B.
Rents are the ministry’s estimates of advertised rents, not rents actually paid.
House rents are put at about €9.35/m² a month. France’s property-sale records don’t cover Alsace and Moselle, which keep their own land register, so the Cost Grade here uses rent alone.
