Some subjects shine; others lag. The weak point is jobs & income (D): 1 job per working resident; 15.7% unemployment. Where it does best is schools: brevet results 5 points above the expected rate. Buying 70 m² at the median €2,130/m² takes 6.2 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes Cœur Haute Lande. All told, that adds up to a B− overall, better than half of compared French towns. Its place in the ranking is #14 of 29 in Landes. Elsewhere it is close to typical: B− for safety and B for walkability.
