Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
Home to 1,058 people, this town lies in Moselle, Grand Est.
Schools are its strong suit — brevet results 1.4 points below the expected rate. Its lowest grade is for health — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 11% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Walkability is weaker too (D). Homes are dear: A year’s estimated rent on a 70 m² apartment is 39% of the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality.
