Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
A town of 5,077 in Calvados, Normandy.
Schools are its weak spot: bac results at the expected rate; brevet results 5 points below the expected rate. At the median price of €2,607/m², a 70 m² home costs 7.2 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté urbaine Caen la Mer. Where it does best is walkability: 82% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 15% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. All told, that adds up to a C+ overall and a rank of #23 of 46 in Calvados. That leaves it better than two fifths of compared French towns. Its other grades sit near the middle: B for safety and B for health.
