Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
With 1,358 residents, it is a town in Haut-Rhin, Grand Est.
Hombourg’s standout strength is health: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 34% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Work and incomes are strong: 1 job per working resident; 7.3% unemployment. The weak point is cost of living — A year’s estimated rent on a 70 m² apartment is just over half of the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. It also trails on walkability — just over nine in ten residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 6% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work.
