A strong record with one exception. Nogent-sur-Marne grades B overall, better than 57% of compared French towns, and ranks #7 of 44 in Val-de-Marne. Fewer journeys need a car (A+): 100% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 68% 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 27% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. What counts against it is cost of living: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 15.4 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. It lags on safety as well (C+): an average of 8 recorded violent incidents and 15.5 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025.
