Is Les Monts d'Aunay a good place to live?

Plenty in its favour, and one clear drawback. Its strongest subject is safety: an average of 6 recorded violent incidents and 7.2 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Prices are modest for what you get (B+): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 4.5 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. The trade-off is jobs & income (C−): 0.7 jobs per working resident; 9.6% unemployment. All told, that adds up to a B+ overall and a rank of #13 of 46 in Calvados. Set against the rest, it does better than 70% of compared French towns. Its remaining grades are unremarkable: C+ for schools, C+ for health and B for walkability.
