The everyday basics are strong; the price of a home is the catch. Health is a strength: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 43% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Saint-Martin-d'Uriage’s overall A− puts it #15 of 96 in Isère. On that grade it does better than 85% of compared French towns. Jobs and pay hold up well: 0.4 jobs per working resident; 4.4% unemployment. Buying in is costly (C−): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 8.6 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Its other grades sit near the middle: B for schools and B for walkability.
