Homes are affordable: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 3.9 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. The weak point is walkability — just over one in ten residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 3% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. The rest of its grades are middling: C+ for health and B− for jobs & income. Homes sell for a median €1,376/m².
