Good value, with catches elsewhere. Its strongest subject is walkability — 86% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 23% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Housing is within reach (A−): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 4.1 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Police record more crime here than in most towns: an average of 10.9 recorded violent incidents and 18.6 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Overall, that makes a B, better than 58% of compared French towns. That places it #17 of 27 in Vosges. Its other grades sit near the middle: B− for schools and B for health.
