Is Saint-Siffret a good place to live?
Saint-Siffret’s strongest is schools: bac results a point above the expected rate; brevet results 0.6 points below the expected rate. Where it falls short is cost of living: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 10.8 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. It lags on walkability as well (C−). Health lags: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 6% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns.
