Care access and life expectancy are shown for context, not graded.
From 2016 to 2025, 640 residents of Milhaud died, against 647 expected from France’s death rates at each age: 1% fewer. Its care home for older people (65 places) counts its residents as Milhaud’s; allowing for it, deaths were 10% 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.
