Is Theix-Noyalo a good place to live?

Plenty to like here, at a price. Schools do well: brevet results 2.4 points above the expected rate. Buying in is costly: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 8 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Overall, that makes a B+, good for #27 of 54 in Morbihan. On that grade it does better than 67% of compared French towns.
