Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
With 12,200 residents, it is a town in Haut-Rhin, Grand Est.
Real strengths, and real weak spots. Its strongest is walkability (A) — 95% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 21% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Add health to its strengths (A−) — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 24% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Buying in is costly (D): A year’s estimated rent on a 70 m² apartment is 44% of the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Overall, that makes a B, good for #28 of 45 in Haut-Rhin. That leaves it better than 55% of compared French towns.

Each subject compares Riedisheim with other French towns of 2,500 or more, ordered by how far its rank is from the middle. American and UK towns are graded separately.
