Irvillac’s best grade is for schools (A+) — brevet results 4 points above the expected rate. It also does well on cost of living: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 4.6 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. The weak point is health — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 24% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Walkability is weaker too — 60% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 5% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work.
