Where it does best is schools: bac results 1.2 points above the expected rate; brevet results 3 points above the expected rate. Prices are modest for what you get (A−): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 4.9 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Health lags: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 4% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Walkability is weaker too (D): 38% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 3% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work.
