APL (accessibilité potentielle localisée) is the health ministry’s measure of how much care is within reach: the professionals in the commune and nearby, weighted by distance and by how much each works, against the residents’ needs by age. It counts where professionals practice, not whether they take new patients. Under 2.5 GP consultations a year is the ministry’s line for an under-served commune; the median compared commune has 3.5.
GPs: consultations a year per resident, standardized for age. Others: full-time equivalents per 100,000 residents. Not graded.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Deaths at each age. A town of retired people has more deaths than a town of students, whatever its health. So we compare each town’s deaths with the number France’s death rates for each age and sex would give its residents. 100 means deaths at France’s rates; 110 means 10% more.
- Care homes. The care-home step is a TownRatings modeling step, not an official statistic: one factor for the whole country, fitted on how death ratios rise with care-home places per resident aged 80+. It makes the comparison fairer, but it is a model, and a town’s own care homes may differ from the average.
- How sure. Small towns have few deaths, so chance moves their ratio. The range under the grade shows where the town would rank nine times in ten if deaths were drawn again. When it spans more than 40 points, the grade is marked less sure (≈).
- Where people die. Deaths count where the person lived, not where they died, so a hospital town isn’t penalized for its hospital.
- Not graded. Distances, APL, the intercommunality’s heart and stroke figures and the département’s life expectancy are shown for context; they don’t change the grade.
- What France doesn’t publish. Unlike the UK, France publishes no life expectancy by town or neighborhood, no waiting times by hospital, no patient survey by GP practice and no census question on health.
