Home to 4,906 people, this town lies in Haute-Garonne, Occitanie.
The picture is mixed. Where it falls short is schools — brevet results 4.9 points below the expected rate. A 70 m² home at the median €2,808/m² costs 7.5 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Toulouse Métropole. Safety is its strong suit — an average of 4.1 recorded violent incidents and 9.8 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Overall, that makes a B−, good for #55 of 85 in Haute-Garonne. Set against the rest, it does better than half of compared French towns.
