Courbevoie does the important things well, at a cost. Jobs and pay hold up well: 2.7 jobs per working resident; 9.3% unemployment. Getting around on foot or by bus is easy: 100% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 72% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. What counts against it is cost of living (D−) — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 16.8 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Schools are weaker too: bac results 0.7 points below the expected rate; brevet results 3.1 points below the expected rate. The overall grade comes out at B+, #8 of 33 in Hauts-de-Seine. That leaves it better than 69% of compared French towns.
