Crime is low (A+): an average of 4.9 recorded violent incidents and 6 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. The drawback is schools: brevet results 6 points below the expected rate. Homes sell for a median €1,884/m²: 70 m² comes to 5.4 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Communauté d'agglomération Gaillac-Graulhet. It also trails on jobs & income (C−) — 0.6 jobs per working resident; 10.5% unemployment. Overall, that makes a B+, good for #13 of 20 in Tarn. That leaves it better than 72% of compared French towns.
