School results are strong: bac results at the expected rate; brevet results 0.5 points above the expected rate. Anglet grades B+ overall, better than 66% of compared French towns. It ranks #25 of 35 in Pyrénées-Atlantiques. Health is a strength: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 23% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Buying in is costly: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 14.5 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Safety is weaker too — an average of 4.9 recorded violent incidents and 19.9 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025.
