Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
Some 2,398 people live in this town, in Pas-de-Calais, Hauts-de-France.
Pupils here do better than most: bac results 1.3 points above the expected rate; brevet results 1.4 points below the expected rate. The weak point is walkability: 50% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 4% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. It also trails on cost of living — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 6 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Health outcomes fall short of most towns: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 4% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns.
