9,189 people live in this town in Pas-de-Calais, Hauts-de-France.
Several subjects drag its grade down. The weak point is health (D−): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 19% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Safety is weaker too (C−) — an average of 14.7 recorded violent incidents and 16.7 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. It is easy to get around without a car: 57% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 12% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. At the median price of €1,563/m², a 70 m² home costs 4.8 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté d'agglomération de Béthune-Bruay, Artois-Lys Romane. Overall, that makes a D, good for #80 of 120 in Pas-de-Calais. That leaves it better than 14% of compared French towns.
