Crime is the sore point: an average of 17.9 recorded violent incidents and 20 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Prices are modest for what you get (A): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 3.5 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Walkability is another plus: just over three quarters of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 13% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Put together, the subjects come to a C− overall, better than just over a fifth of compared French towns.
