Mostly strong, with a single weak spot. Health is a strength (A): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 34% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. At €2,080/m², the median price, 70 m² costs 5.6 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes Grand Sud Tarn et Garonne. The trade-off is jobs & income — 0.6 jobs per working resident; 9.6% unemployment. Put together, the subjects come to a B+ overall, ranking #4 of 16 in Tarn-et-Garonne. That leaves it better than 73% of compared French towns. Elsewhere it is close to typical: B for safety, B− for schools and C+ for walkability.
