Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
Some 10,847 people live in this town, in Nord, Hauts-de-France.
Real strengths, and real weak spots. Health is a weak point (D): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 4% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. It also trails on safety — an average of 14.9 recorded violent incidents and 13.5 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Fewer journeys need a car: 78% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 15% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. At the median price of €2,195/m², a 70 m² home costs 6.3 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Métropole Européenne de Lille. Schools do well: bac results 1.8 points above the expected rate; brevet results 0.8 points below the expected rate. The overall grade lands at C, #90 of 189 in Nord. On that grade it does better than 27% of compared French towns.
