Work and incomes are strong: 0.3 jobs per working resident; 4.5% unemployment. The weak point is cost of living (C+) — A year’s estimated rent on a 70 m² apartment is nearly two fifths of the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. It lags on walkability as well: 84% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 8% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work.
