Care access and life expectancy are shown for context, not graded.
From 2016 to 2025, 314 residents of Segonzac died, against 286 expected from France’s death rates at each age: 10% more. Its care home for older people (68 places) counts its residents as Segonzac’s; allowing for it, deaths were 14% below expected.
