Dompaire’s death rate, adjusted for age and care homes, is higher than in 69% of compared French towns
Care access and life expectancy are shown for context, not graded.
From 2016 to 2025, 208 residents of Dompaire died, against 136 expected from France’s death rates at each age: 53% more. Its care home for older people (56 places) counts its residents as Dompaire’s; allowing for it, deaths were 5% 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.
