Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
1,093 people live in this town in Bas-Rhin, Grand Est.
School results are strong: brevet results 3 points above the expected rate. Where it falls short is health (D) — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 4% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Homes are dear: A year’s estimated rent on a 70 m² apartment is two fifths of the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality.

Rents are the ministry’s estimates of advertised rents, not rents actually paid.
A house rents for an estimated €11.21/m² a month. France’s property-sale records don’t cover Alsace and Moselle, which keep their own land register, so the Cost Grade here uses rent alone.
