HealthHealth B+
Fleurance’s death rate, adjusted for age and care homes, is lower than in 67% of compared French towns
Care access and life expectancy are shown for context, not graded.
From 2016 to 2025, 1,079 residents of Fleurance died, against 1,121 expected from France’s death rates at each age: 4% fewer. Its two care homes for older people (176 places) count their residents as Fleurance’s; allowing for them, deaths were 18% 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.
