Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
15% of residents are 15 to 24. A town of 11,700 in Seine-Saint-Denis, Île-de-France.
A tough set of grades. Dugny ranks #32 of 39 in Seine-Saint-Denis, with a D− overall. That leaves it better than 2% of compared French towns. Walkability is its strong suit — 100% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 49% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Buying 70 m² at the median €2,879/m² takes 7.2 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Métropole du Grand Paris. Health is weaker too — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 14% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns.
