Is Oulins a good place to live?

Health is a strength: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 20% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Its weakest subject is schools: brevet results 10.5 points below the expected rate. Buying in is costly: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 5.9 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. It lags on walkability as well — 90% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 9% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work.
