How Montpellier ranks
Scores run 0 to 100 against every municipality in France. Ranks count only the places that pass each profile's minimums, so the totals differ by profile. Local data: official statistics on affordability, demographics, education and family, health and elderly, jobs and economy, mobility and connectivity, safety and community and taxes and wealth (local or regional figures, sources on every place page) plus population and geography.
