The picture is mixed. Its lowest grade is for cost of living (D): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 8.4 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Health outcomes fall short of most towns (D): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 7% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Walking, cycling and public transport work well here: 92% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 31% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. All told, that adds up to a C− overall and a rank of #76 of 91 in Yvelines. It comes out better than 20% of compared French towns. Its other grades sit near the middle: B− for safety, C+ for schools and B− for jobs & income.
