Plenty to like here, at a price. With a B+ overall, Saint-Maurice is better than 66% of compared French towns. In the ranking it comes #2 of 44 in Val-de-Marne. Health is a strength: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 35% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. What counts against it is cost of living (D−) — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 15.2 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality.
