Prices are modest for what you get: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 3.9 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Health is another plus: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 19% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Walkability is its weak spot: a third of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 3% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. The median sale price is €1,419/m².
