Is Roisey a good place to live?

At the median price of €2,154/m², a 70 m² home costs 5.4 times the median annual income per consumption unit (an income adjusted for household size) in the Communauté de communes du Pilat Rhodanien.

Hazard risk isn’t graded in France yet: national flood maps cover only some areas.
