Buying a home costs less than in most towns (A): A year’s estimated rent on a 70 m² apartment is 31% of the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Where it falls short is health: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 2% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. It also trails on walkability — nearly nine in ten residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 4% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work.
