A good place to live, if you can afford it. Its strongest is schools (A) — bac results 3 points above the expected rate; brevet results 3.3 points above the expected rate. Jobs and pay hold up well: 0.8 jobs per working resident; 8.5% unemployment. The trade-off is cost of living — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 10.1 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. It lags on walkability as well — 54% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 6% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Overall, that makes a B+, good for #4 of 99 in Bouches-du-Rhône. Set against the rest, it does better than 72% of compared French towns. Its other grades sit near the middle: B for safety and B for health.

Not in the gradeTheft without violence, drug use and fraud are shown for information but left out of the Safety Grade, which counts violence plus burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and criminal damage per resident.
Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For other physical violence, sexual violence and theft from vehicles, the count isn’t published when it’s small (five or fewer in a year of the last three), so the index uses the département’s average, 16.0% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses.
