Scores are 0–10, computed only from factors we have data for; coverage shows how complete that is. A low score means a poor fit for that group’s needs, not a bad town. Tap an audience to see what drove its score.

The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Hospital care is close by — about 0.1km away.
Depends on you

Nothing notable to weigh either way here.

Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 1.35% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 3 places to eat within 5km.

Daily services are searched to 15 km; hospital and beach to 100 km.
