Bobital’s best grade is for health: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 34% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. At the median price of €2,122/m², a 70 m² home costs 5.7 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté d'agglomération Dinan Agglomération.
