Eauze’s death rate, adjusted for age and care homes, is lower than in 53% of compared French towns
Care access and life expectancy are shown for context, not graded.
From 2016 to 2025, 638 residents of Eauze died, against 650 expected from France’s death rates at each age: 2% fewer. Its care home for older people (81 places) counts its residents as Eauze’s; allowing for it, deaths were 13% 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.
