Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
In Rhône, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, this town has 6,984 residents.
Mostly strong, with a single weak spot. Households here earn well: 1.2 jobs per working resident; 7.9% unemployment. Health is another plus: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 19% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. The catch is cost of living (C): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 8 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. All told, that adds up to an A− overall and a rank of #32 of 107 in Rhône. On that grade it does better than 77% of compared French towns. Its other grades sit near the middle: B− for safety and B for walkability.
