Fewer journeys need a car: just over nine in ten residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 10% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Health outcomes fall short of most towns (C−): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 2% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. It lags on cost of living as well — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 6.6 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Holiday and other second homes account for 55% of homes.
