Care access and life expectancy are shown for context, not graded.
From 2016 to 2025, 547 residents of Corenc died, against 556 expected from France’s death rates at each age: 2% fewer. Its two care homes for older people (95 places) count their residents as Corenc’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.
