A tough set of grades. Its weakest subject is cost of living (D−): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 9.2 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Incomes are on the low side: 1.4 jobs per working resident; 15.6% unemployment. Getting around on foot or by bus is easy (A+): 100% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 51% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. It is strong on health as well (B+) — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 18% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. The overall grade comes out at D, #34 of 44 in Val-de-Marne. On that grade it does better than just over a tenth of compared French towns.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For armed robbery, the count isn’t published when it’s small (five or fewer in a year of the last three), so the index uses the département’s average, 0.4% of the index here. Crimes are counted in the commune where they happen, then divided by its residents, so a town that draws people in from around can look higher. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses.
