Is Jarny a good place to live?
Homes are affordable here, though not without reasons. Jarny grades C overall and ranks #49 of 56 in Meurthe-et-Moselle. Set against the rest, it does better than 28% of compared French towns. The weak point is health (D) — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 15% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Safety lags: an average of 13.2 recorded violent incidents and 18.2 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Its best grade is for walkability (A−): 85% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 12% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Prices are modest for what you get: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 4.6 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality.
