Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
Population 21,941: a town in Seine-Saint-Denis, Île-de-France.
Strong in places, weak in others. Its weakest subject is cost of living (D−) — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 10.2 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Walking, cycling and public transport work well here (A+): 100% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 60% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Health is a strength too: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 22% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. All told, that adds up to a C overall and a rank of #1 of 39 in Seine-Saint-Denis. On that grade it does better than just over a third of compared French towns.
