Some subjects shine; others lag. On jobs & income it is strong — 3.1 jobs per working resident; 8.5% unemployment. What holds it back is cost of living — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 34.5 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. It lags on safety as well: an average of 10.6 recorded violent incidents and 25.4 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. The overall grade lands at B, #3 of 20 in Paris. Nationally, it does better than 62% of compared French towns.
