The picture is mixed. Homes are dear (D−): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 11.9 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Schools are weaker too: bac results 1.4 points below the expected rate; brevet results 5.5 points below the expected rate. Walkability is its strong suit (A+): 100% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 48% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Health outcomes beat most towns: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 23% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Overall, that makes a C+, good for #26 of 33 in Hauts-de-Seine. That leaves it better than 41% of compared French towns. Its other grades sit near the middle: B− for safety and B for jobs & income.
