Prices are modest for what you get (A): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 4.2 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Walkability is a strength too — 59% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 14% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Where it falls short is health (D−): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 18% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. It also trails on schools — brevet results at the expected rate.
