Homes are affordable (A+): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 3.2 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Safety is another plus — an average of 8 recorded violent incidents and 10 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. The catch is jobs & income: 0.5 jobs per working resident; 11.8% unemployment. All told, that adds up to an A− overall and a rank of #1 of 10 in Territoire de Belfort. On that grade it does better than 76% of compared French towns. Elsewhere it is close to typical: B− for schools, C+ for health and B for walkability.
