Housing is within reach (A+): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 2.7 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Where it falls short is jobs & income — 0.2 jobs per working resident; 9.4% unemployment. Walkability is weaker too: 33% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 3% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. It lags on health as well: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 7% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns.
