Homes are dear: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 8.7 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Where it does best is schools: bac results 2.7 points above the expected rate; brevet results 0.7 points above the expected rate. It also does well on health — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 20% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. The overall grade comes out at B−, better than 49% of compared French towns. In the ranking it comes #10 of 73 in Var. The rest of its grades are middling: C+ for safety, C+ for jobs & income and B− for walkability.
