Is Frouard a good place to live?
Cheap to live in, with trade-offs. Where it falls short is schools — bac results 4 points below the expected rate; brevet results 4.4 points below the expected rate. It does especially well on cost of living: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 4.5 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Walkability is a strength too (A−) — 90% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 14% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Put together, the subjects come to a C− overall, ranking #53 of 56 in Meurthe-et-Moselle. On that grade it does better than nearly a quarter of compared French towns.
