Prices are modest for what you get: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 4.4 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Health is its weak spot — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 12% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Most journeys need a car: 35% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 4% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. The local economy is weaker than most: 0.3 jobs per working resident; 8.9% unemployment.
