Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
The town, home to 11,261 people, lies in Haute-Garonne, Occitanie.
The everyday basics are strong; the price of a home is the catch. Jobs and pay hold up well: 0.8 jobs per working resident; 8.9% unemployment. Homes are dear: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 8.2 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. All told, that adds up to a B+ overall and a rank of #39 of 85 in Haute-Garonne. That leaves it better than 68% of compared French towns. The rest of its grades are middling: B− for schools and B for health.
