Safety is its strong suit — an average of 3 recorded violent incidents and 8.8 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Pordic grades A− overall, better than 84% of compared French towns, and ranks #9 of 45 in Côtes-d'Armor. It is strong on schools as well — brevet results a point above the expected rate. Housing is expensive: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 6.8 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Health is weaker too: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 6% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns.
