Sainte-Radegonde’s standout strength is health (A): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 34% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Jobs & income is another plus (A+): 0.7 jobs per working resident; 4.1% unemployment. A 70 m² home at the median €2,596/m² costs 7 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté d'agglomération Rodez Agglomération. Where it falls short is walkability — 1% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 3% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work.
