Better served than 49 % of the 18,018 communes of a similar size.

Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.

The median across Haute-Garonne is 2,555 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[12]
