Pierric’s strongest is cost of living — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 4.1 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Where it falls short is health (D) — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 13% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. It lags on walkability as well: a fifth of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 5% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Jobs & income is weaker too: 0.3 jobs per working resident; 7.6% unemployment.
