Nexon’s strongest is cost of living — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 4.5 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Pupils here do less well than most (D): brevet results 8 points below the expected rate. It also trails on walkability (C+) — 48% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 8% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Its other grades sit near the middle: B for health and B for jobs & income.
