Its strongest is cost of living (A+): A year’s estimated rent on a 70 m² apartment is 26% of the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality.

Rents are the ministry’s estimates of advertised rents, not rents actually paid.
House rents are put at about €9.18/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.
