Toulouse and Montauban in the top 10 French cities where we live in good health
Data doesn’t lie. The newspaper Le Figaro class Toulouse and Montauban among 100 French cities where we live in good health. To refine this classification, the daily went through the large metropolises, but also almost all medium-sized towns with a fine-tooth comb. These are the prevalence and death rate of serious diseases, but also the supply of health care and air pollution. Thereby, three thematic awards and a general ranking have been established.
Toulouse and Montauban in the top 10
It is at the 8th place overall that we find the pink city. A result that she obtained thanks to her mortality rate, which is in 3rd place among the cities analyzed by the newspaper. However, it should be noted that Toulouse is not the best student when it comes to its air quality, 34th place in the ranking. The same goes for its medical density elsewhere, where the city is in 59th position.
The pink city is closely followed by Montauban, 9th in the general classification. It is to its offer of care that it owes its place. Indeed, Montauban is in 4th place in terms of its density of liberal doctors. According to Figaro data, the city has 11.88 general practitioners per 10,000 inhabitants. Its number of ophthalmologists and pulmonologists is proportionately higher than almost any other city.
Albi and Tarbes at the top of the ranking
The precious sesame of the French city where we live in good health is attributed to the city ofAlbi, in the Tarn. If the red city is at the top of the global ranking, it never occupies the first places of the three thematic charts. Indeed, Albi is thus only 13 in terms of air quality as well as mortality and it occupies 22nd in terms of density of doctors. It is therefore at its general average that it is its first place.
About the second place still concerns a town in Occitania. Tarbes, in the Hautes-Pyrénées, is positioned just behind Albi in the general classification. It is its air quality, 6th in the list, which has earned it this prestigious location. For health, the city is 15th and only 31st for medical density.
