Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
A town in Savoie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, home to 1,874 people. 14% of residents are 15 to 24.
Aiton’s best grade is for schools — brevet results 3 points above the expected rate. Crime is the sore point: an average of 25.1 recorded violent incidents and 13.7 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Buying in is costly: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 6.7 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Walkability is weaker too (C).
