Val-Revermont’s strongest is health — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 28% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Where it falls short is walkability: a third of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 7% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Buying 70 m² at the median €2,050/m² takes 5.4 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Communauté d'agglomération du Bassin de Bourg-en-Bresse.
