Care access and life expectancy are shown for context, not graded.
From 2016 to 2025, 419 residents of Ytrac died, against 393 expected from France’s death rates at each age: 7% more. Its care home for older people (65 places) counts its residents as Ytrac’s; allowing for it, deaths were 11% 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.
