Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
3,326 people live in this town in Nord, Hauts-de-France.
A strong record with one exception. Its strongest is walkability — 94% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 14% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. The trade-off is cost of living: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 6.9 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Overall, that makes a B, good for #33 of 189 in Nord. It comes out better than 58% of compared French towns. Elsewhere it is close to typical: B for safety, B for schools, B for health and B− for jobs & income.
