Plenty to like here, at a price. Households here earn well: 1.3 jobs per working resident; 6.6% unemployment. Its schools beat most: bac results 2.1 points above the expected rate; brevet results 3 points above the expected rate. The catch is cost of living: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 9.8 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. It also trails on walkability: 80% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 5% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. All told, that adds up to an A− overall and a rank of #3 of 14 in Haute-Corse. On that grade it does better than nearly four fifths of compared French towns.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For sexual violence, armed robbery and burglary, this figure isn’t published when it’s small (five or fewer in at least one of the last three years); the index uses the département’s average instead, 2.2% of the index here. Crimes are counted in the commune where they happen, then divided by its residents, so a town that draws people in from around can look higher. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses.
