Safety is its strong suit (A+): an average of 4.3 recorded violent incidents and 5.5 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. The catch is cost of living: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 9 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Put together, the subjects come to an A− overall, better than nearly four fifths of compared French towns. It ranks #17 of 35 in Pyrénées-Atlantiques.
