The data are hard on it. Its weakest subject is cost of living (D−): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 14.2 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Safety is weaker too: an average of 13.4 recorded violent incidents and 27.2 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Fewer journeys need a car: 85% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 28% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. All told, that adds up to a D− overall, better than 3% of compared French towns. That places it #44 of 46 in Calvados. Its other grades sit near the middle: C+ for schools and C+ for jobs & income.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For 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, 0.4% of the index here. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses. Crimes are counted in the commune where they happen, then divided by its residents, so a town that draws people in from around can look higher.
