Plenty in its favour, and one clear drawback. Its best grade is for safety: an average of 3 recorded violent incidents and 7.8 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Add walkability to its strengths — 64% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 12% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. School results trail most towns: bac results 4 points below the expected rate; brevet results 1.6 points below the expected rate. Buying 70 m² at the median €1,856/m² takes 4.9 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes du Bassin de Pompey. Put together, the subjects come to an A− overall, better than 79% of compared French towns. In the ranking it comes #11 of 56 in Meurthe-et-Moselle. Its remaining grades are unremarkable: B for health and C+ for jobs & income.
