Goult has subject grades but no overall grade: French towns get one from 2,500 residents. Its weakest subject is cost of living (D−): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 14.1 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality.
Hazard risk isn’t graded in France yet: national flood maps cover only some areas.
Each subject compares Goult with other French towns of 2,500 or more, ordered by how far its rank is from the middle. American and UK towns are graded separately.
