Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
A town of 2,594 in Aisne, Hauts-de-France.
Charly-sur-Marne’s grades pull in different directions. Walkability is its strong suit: 84% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 30% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Buying 70 m² at the median €1,640/m² takes 4.5 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes du Canton de Charly-sur-Marne. What holds it back is health (D) — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 5% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Overall, that makes a B, good for #3 of 23 in Aisne. It comes out better than 64% of compared French towns.
