Its weakest subject is walkability (C−): 61% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 4% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Its strongest is cost of living (B): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 5.9 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 Apremont 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.
