A tough set of grades. Schools are its weak spot — brevet results 7 points below the expected rate. Buying in is costly: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 8.9 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Where it does best is walkability (B): 71% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 11% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. The overall grade comes out at D, #56 of 73 in Var. On that grade it does better than 6% of compared French towns. Elsewhere it is close to typical: C+ for safety and B− for jobs & income.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For other physical violence, sexual violence and armed robbery, this figure isn’t published when it’s small (five or fewer in at least one of the last three years); the index uses the département’s average instead, 9.9% of the index here. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses. 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.
