Mostly strong, with a single weak spot. The local economy does well: 1.8 jobs per working resident; 7.8% unemployment. Safety is a strength too — an average of 3.6 recorded violent incidents and 11.2 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. A 70 m² home at the median €2,188/m² costs 5.9 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté d'agglomération Dinan Agglomération. What holds it back is walkability (C): 30% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 7% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Overall, that makes an A, good for #4 of 45 in Côtes-d'Armor. It comes out better than 91% of compared French towns.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · When other physical violence, sexual violence, vehicle theft and theft from vehicles number five or fewer in a recent year, the figure is withheld, and the index uses the département’s average instead (23.0% of the index here). Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses. Crimes are counted in the commune where they happen, then divided by its residents, so a town that draws people in from around can look higher.
