Pavie has no overall grade because safety isn’t graded here. Its weakest subject is walkability (C): 55% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 5% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. At the median price of €1,912/m², a 70 m² home costs 5.3 times the median annual income per consumption unit (an income adjusted for household size) in the Communauté d'agglomération Grand Auch Cœur de Gascogne.
Hazard risk isn’t graded in France yet: national flood maps cover only some areas.
