A town with more to fix than most. Where it falls short is safety (D): an average of 9.3 recorded violent incidents and 26.6 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. It lags on jobs & income as well — 0.9 jobs per working resident; 15.2% unemployment. Buying 70 m² at the median €1,824/m² takes 5.2 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Métropole Rouen Normandie. Fewer journeys need a car: 100% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 32% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Put together, the subjects come to a D− overall, ranking #67 of 70 in Seine-Maritime. Nationally, it does better than 4% of compared French towns. Residents’ health trails most towns: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 8% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns.
