Liévin’s weakest subject is health (D−): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 38% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Where it does best is walkability (A−) — 81% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 11% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Buying 70 m² at the median €1,510/m² takes 5 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Communauté d'agglomération de Lens - Liévin. Overall, that makes a D−, good for #118 of 120 in Pas-de-Calais. It comes out behind almost every compared French town. Safety is weaker too (D): an average of 18.1 recorded violent incidents and 19.6 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025.
