Where it does best is cost of living: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 6.5 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. It is hard to get around without a car: 54% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 4% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Health is weaker too — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 3% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns.
