Confidence: high.

Better served than 58 % of the 16,488 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 Marne is 1,798 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[13]
