Cost of living is its strong suit (A+) — A year’s estimated rent on a 70 m² apartment is 28% of the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Schools are another plus: bac results at the expected rate; brevet results 4.5 points above the expected rate. Getting around depends on the car (D−): 5% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 3% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. It lags on health as well — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 7% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns.
