Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
In Haute-Vienne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, this town has 1,041 residents.
Cost of living is its strong suit — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 5 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Where it falls short is schools: brevet results 8 points below the expected rate. It also trails on health: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 9% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Walkability is weaker too (D) — 58% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 2% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work.
