Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
It is a town of 5,076 residents in Haut-Rhin, Grand Est.
A well-rated place to live, with prices to match. Safety is its strong suit (A): an average of 3.2 recorded violent incidents and 10.1 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Its schools beat most: brevet results 3.6 points above the expected rate. Prices are high against local incomes (D−): A year’s estimated rent on a 70 m² apartment is 55% of the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. All told, that adds up to an A− overall and a rank of #19 of 45 in Haut-Rhin. That leaves it better than 84% of compared French towns.

Data highlights are ordered by what stands out in Habsheim.
Rents are the ministry’s estimates of advertised rents, not rents actually paid.
France’s property-sale records don’t cover Alsace and Moselle, which keep their own land register, so the Cost Grade here uses rent alone.
