Ambleteuse has subject grades but no overall grade: French towns get one from 2,500 residents. Its weakest subject is health (D−): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 29% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. At the median price of €3,310/m², a 70 m² home costs 9.4 times the median annual income per consumption unit (an income adjusted for household size) in the Communauté de communes de la Terre des Deux Caps. Its strongest is schools (A+): brevet results 9 points above the expected rate.
Hazard risk isn’t graded in France yet: national flood maps cover only some areas.
Each subject compares Ambleteuse with other French towns of 2,500 or more, ordered by how far its rank is from the middle. American and UK towns are graded separately.
