Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
With 3,346 residents, it is a town in Seine-et-Marne, Île-de-France.
A town of contrasts. The weak point is schools (D): bac results 5.3 points below the expected rate; brevet results 5.9 points below the expected rate. It also trails on health: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 3% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. At the median price of €2,318/m², a 70 m² home costs 5.8 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté d'agglomération Coulommiers Pays de Brie. Where it does best is safety — an average of 4.3 recorded violent incidents and 7.3 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Overall, that makes a C+, good for #45 of 104 in Seine-et-Marne. Set against the rest, it does better than 36% of compared French towns.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For other physical violence, sexual violence, vehicle theft and theft from vehicles, the count isn’t published when it’s small (five or fewer in a year of the last three), so the index uses the département’s average, 20.4% of the index here.
