Homes are affordable (A+): A year’s estimated rent on a 70 m² apartment is 26% of the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. School results are strong: brevet results a point above the expected rate. Walkability is its weak spot: just over one in ten residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 5% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Residents’ health trails most towns: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 4% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns.

Rents are the ministry’s estimates of advertised rents, not rents actually paid.
Renting a house costs an estimated €7.28/m² a month. France’s property-sale records don’t cover Alsace and Moselle, which keep their own land register, so the Cost Grade here uses rent alone.
