Homes are affordable here, though not without reasons. Health is a weak point (D−): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 17% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Housing is within reach: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 1.9 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Put together, the subjects come to a C+ overall, better than 40% of compared French towns. That places it #8 of 23 in Aisne. Work and incomes lag (D): 1 job per working resident; 29.3% unemployment. Safety lags: an average of 17.6 recorded violent incidents and 15.1 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025.
