Prices are modest for what you get: A year’s estimated rent on a 70 m² apartment is nearly a third of the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. It also does well on walkability (B+) — just over nine in ten residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 9% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Health is its weak spot — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 12% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Work and incomes lag (C): 0.6 jobs per working resident; 10.3% unemployment.

Rents are the ministry’s estimates of advertised rents, not rents actually paid.
House rents are put at about €12.03/m² a month. 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.
