Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
6,671 people call this town in Haute-Garonne, Occitanie home.
People here tend to be in good health: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 28% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Jobs & income is another plus — 0.7 jobs per working resident; 7.4% unemployment. Buying 70 m² at the median €2,500/m² takes 6.1 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes du Frontonnais. The drawback is walkability: 65% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 7% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Overall, that makes an A, good for #11 of 85 in Haute-Garonne. On that grade it does better than 91% of compared French towns.
