A tough set of grades. Its weakest is safety — an average of 16.3 recorded violent incidents and 17.5 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. It also trails on jobs & income — 1.3 jobs per working resident; 23.9% unemployment. Fewer journeys need a car: 72% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 26% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Add cost of living to its strengths (B+): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 3.9 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Overall, that makes a C−, better than 16% of compared French towns.
