Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
In Isère, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, this town has 2,248 residents.
Seyssuel’s best grade is for health — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 36% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Homes are dear: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 8.7 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Elsewhere it is close to typical: B− for safety and B for schools. Walkability is weaker too (C) — nearly one in ten residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 8% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work.
