Neither a standout nor a worry on most counts. Its strongest subject is cost of living (B+) — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 4.1 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Safety is a strength too (B+) — an average of 5.3 recorded violent incidents and 11.9 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025.

Its other grades sit near the middle: C+ for health, B for jobs & income and B− for walkability.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For other physical violence, sexual violence, armed robbery and theft from vehicles, this figure isn’t published when it’s small (five or fewer in at least one of the last three years); the index uses the département’s average instead, 11.7% of the index here. That estimated share passes 10%, so treat this Safety Grade with more caution than most. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses.
