Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
In Charente-Maritime, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, this town has 4,677 residents.
Much to like here, and you pay for it. It is a safe place by the numbers: an average of 6.2 recorded violent incidents and 7.8 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Add jobs & income to its strengths: 1 job per working resident; 7.9% unemployment. What holds it back is cost of living: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 7.7 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. All told, that adds up to a B+ overall and a rank of #10 of 44 in Charente-Maritime. Nationally, it does better than 71% of compared French towns. Its other grades sit near the middle: B− for schools, B− for health and B for walkability.
