Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
Some 2,582 people live in this town, in Pas-de-Calais, Hauts-de-France.
A tough set of grades. Health outcomes fall short of most towns: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 9% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Housing is expensive (D): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 10.3 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Its strongest subject is safety: an average of 6.2 recorded violent incidents and 8.6 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. The overall grade comes out at C−, better than 17% of compared French towns. That places it #70 of 120 in Pas-de-Calais.
