Mane’s schools beat most: brevet results a point above the expected rate. Walkability is a strength too — 74% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 15% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Health is a weak point: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 3% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Buying 70 m² at the median €2,746/m² takes 7.9 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes Haute-Provence-Pays de Banon.
