Towns of the same size, around it by share of budget
2025 operating expenditure, as the town voted it by function. Source: DGFiP — balances comptables, présentation croisée nature-fonction. The comparison is first on the share of the operating budget — the reading that does not depend on how wealthy the town is — then on euros per inhabitant, against the median of towns in the same DGFiP population band. Transfers to the inter-municipal body are excluded on both sides.
