Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
3,677 residents make their home in this town in Seine-et-Marne, Île-de-France.
The weak point is cost of living: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 7.5 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Schools are weaker too: bac results 2.4 points below the expected rate; brevet results 3 points below the expected rate. It is easy to get around without a car: 79% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 27% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Overall, that makes a B−, better than 47% of compared French towns. That places it #31 of 104 in Seine-et-Marne.
