Plenty in its favour, and one clear drawback. Its standout strength is health: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 29% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. At A overall, Laillé is better than 92% of compared French towns and ranks #21 of 75 in Ille-et-Vilaine. What counts against it is cost of living: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 6.9 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Its remaining grades are unremarkable: B for schools and B for walkability.
