A town of 1,529 in Calvados, Normandy.
Éterville has subject grades but no overall grade: French towns get one from 2,500 residents.

Its strongest is health (A+): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 35% 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 Éterville 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.
