Buying a home costs less than in most towns: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 4.3 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Where it falls short is health — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 12% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Getting around depends on the car: just over two in five residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 4% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work.
