Its weakest subject is health (D−): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 17% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. At the median price of €2,413/m², a 70 m² home costs 4.2 times the median annual income per consumption unit (an income adjusted for household size) in the Communauté de communes des Lacs et Montagnes du Haut-Doubs. Its strongest is jobs & income (A): 0.8 jobs per working resident; 7.0% unemployment.
