Blaesheim has subject grades but no overall grade: French towns get one from 2,500 residents. Its weakest subject is cost of living (D−): A year’s estimated rent on a 70 m² apartment is 52% of the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Its strongest is health (A−): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 24% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns.
Hazard risk isn’t graded in France yet: national flood maps cover only some areas.
Each subject compares Blaesheim with other French towns of 2,500 or more, ordered by how far its rank is from the middle. American and UK towns are graded separately.
