Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
The town, home to 1,338 people, lies in Haute-Saône, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
Residents are healthier than most: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 33% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Cost of living is a strength too (A−) — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 4.4 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Pupils here do less well than most (D): bac results 3.1 points below the expected rate; brevet results 6.7 points below the expected rate. It lags on walkability as well — just over a fifth of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 6% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work.
