Demographic momentum

Strongly declining
26,221 24,805 inhab.

Annualised from the only two figures this source publishes. With no series in between, acceleration cannot be measured, so none is shown.

Price momentum

-2.85 pp/yr
Behind the national market
+0.8 %/yr here
+3.7 %/yr nationally
2,488 2,603 €/m²

Annualised growth of this municipality’s median €/m², minus the population-weighted national average over the same window. Positive means prices here rose faster than the country as a whole — good news for an owner, bad news for a buyer. Raw appreciation rates are not comparable across borders, which is why the figure is shown relative to its own country.

Foreign residents

Share of residents with foreign nationality (each country's official population register or census — see the source below). An established international community often eases a newcomer's integration. Higher scores better.

Further context

Measured and published, but deliberately not part of the grade.

Residential burglary

Recorded residential burglaries per 1,000 dwellings (SSMSI, France). Not part of the grade: the statistic is only published above a threshold, so a missing figure does not mean an absence of crime.
