Where it does best is health: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 28% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Households here earn well (A−): 1.9 jobs per working resident; 8.7% unemployment. The drawback is cost of living: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 6.8 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. It also trails on schools — bac results 3.5 points below the expected rate; brevet results at the expected rate. All told, that adds up to an A− overall and a rank of #35 of 52 in Maine-et-Loire. Set against the rest, it does better than just over three quarters of compared French towns.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · When other physical violence number five or fewer in a recent year, the figure is withheld, and the index uses the département’s average instead (2.7% of the index here). The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses. Crimes are counted in the commune where they happen, then divided by its residents, so a town that draws people in from around can look higher.
