Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
A town in Savoie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, home to 1,318 people.
Health is a strength (A): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 28% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Where it falls short is cost of living (C−): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 9.5 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. It also trails on walkability — 72% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 8% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. The median price paid is €3,841/m².
