On health it is strong: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 30% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. What holds it back is cost of living — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 10.3 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Overall, that makes a B, good for #59 of 107 in Rhône. Nationally, it does better than 57% of compared French towns.
