Homes are affordable: A year’s estimated rent on a 70 m² apartment is 31% of the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Walkability is a strength too — 100% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 19% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Its lowest grade is for jobs & income: 0.8 jobs per working resident; 11.8% unemployment. Health is weaker too: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 8% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For sexual violence, vehicle theft and theft from vehicles, the count isn’t published when it’s small (five or fewer in a year of the last three), so the index uses the département’s average, 21.8% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses.
