At the median price of €1,929/m², a 70 m² home costs 4.9 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes des Terres du Val de Loire. All told, that adds up to an A overall and a rank of #4 of 43 in Loiret. Nationally, it does better than 92% of compared French towns. The rest of its grades are middling: B− for safety and B− for health.
