Nothing here grades far from typical. Where it falls short is schools — bac results 1.7 points below the expected rate; brevet results 0.5 points below the expected rate. Cost of living is weaker too: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 5.3 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Walkability is its strong suit — 82% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 12% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. The overall grade lands at C, #38 of 43 in Loiret. That leaves it better than just over a quarter of compared French towns.
