HealthHealth C
Clairoix’s death rate, adjusted for age and care homes, is higher than in 72% of compared French towns
Care access and life expectancy are shown for context, not graded.
From 2016 to 2025, 171 residents of Clairoix died, against 177 expected from France’s death rates at each age: 4% fewer. 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. A less sure grade: it could be anywhere from D to B.
