Care access and life expectancy are shown for context, not graded.
From 2016 to 2025, 88 residents of La Môle died, against 95 expected from France’s death rates at each age: 8% 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 A−.
