Septème has subject grades but no overall grade: French towns get one from 2,500 residents. Its weakest subject is walkability (D): 29% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 4% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. At the median price of €3,010/m², a 70 m² home costs 7.6 times the median annual income per consumption unit (an income adjusted for household size) in the Communauté d'agglomération Vienne Condrieu.
Hazard risk isn’t graded in France yet: national flood maps cover only some areas.
Each subject compares Septème with other French towns of 2,500 or more, ordered by how far its rank is from the middle. American and UK towns are graded separately.
