Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
Population 8,083: a town in Moselle, Grand Est.
More weak spots than strong ones. Its weakest subject is schools: brevet results 6.4 points below the expected rate. Getting around on foot or by bus is easy: 83% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 12% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. All told, that adds up to a D− overall and a rank of #64 of 68 in Moselle. Set against the rest, it does better than 5% of compared French towns. It lags on health as well: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 14% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Incomes are on the low side: 0.4 jobs per working resident; 10.2% unemployment.
