The data are hard on it. Buying in is costly (D): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 9.3 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Pupils here do less well than most (C+): brevet results a point below the expected rate. Walkability is its strong suit — 83% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 7% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. All told, that adds up to a D overall and a rank of #48 of 60 in Gard. On that grade it does better than 14% of compared French towns.
