At C+ overall, Meudon ranks #25 of 33 in Hauts-de-Seine. On that grade it does better than 44% of compared French towns.

School results trail most towns: bac results 1.5 points below the expected rate; brevet results 6.7 points below the expected rate. Fewer journeys need a car (A+): 100% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 55% 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 27% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns.
