Buying a home costs less than in most towns: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 4.3 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. The weak point is health — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 3% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Jobs & income is weaker too: 0.6 jobs per working resident; 9.5% unemployment. Walkability is weaker too: just over two in five residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 7% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work.
