Bagneux’s weakest is cost of living (D−): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 13 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. All told, that adds up to a D overall and a rank of #30 of 33 in Hauts-de-Seine. That leaves it better than 13% of compared French towns. Jobs & income is weaker too: 0.7 jobs per working resident; 14.6% unemployment.
