School results are strong: brevet results 4 points above the expected rate. Walkability is a strength too — 87% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 12% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Where it falls short is health: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 4% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns.
