STANDARD OF LIVING. It seems reasonable to assume that the elements at risk in a town are related to the standard of living of its inhabitants. For instance, wealthier people may be expected to live in more expensive houses but poorer people are likely to live in areas of higher housing density. Moreover, the standard of living of people also has an impact on their vulnerability in the face of a natural disaster (Mutter et al., 2007). Thus, houses of wealthier people will be probably better-designed, with greater build quality, and could consequently be impacted less in some landslide situations. In France, for example, a part of the population living with the lowest incomes lives in concrete buildings, called HLM (housing at moderate rent), that were built in the 1970s and are very robust. Consequently, this argument may not be so clear. Furthermore, households with sufficient money in reserve will be less affected by disasters, because they will be able to start up xxxxx xxxxxx. Finally, the poorest people may not consider the insurance of their goods as a priority, whereas the wealthier people may choose insurance with the best warranties: consequently, the latter will be less affected by natural disasters. From a socio-economic point of view, education could also be a factor affecting vulnerability: less educated people that may be less well informed about landslide risks and may build their houses in more vulnerable areas. The poorest people may also have less choice as to whether they live in these areas or not, and insufficient resources to make other choices. Hopefully, thanks to the PPR these situations are almost nonexistent in France. The indicators gathered at each census permit a better understanding of the quality of life of the local population. Although this approach is somewhat simplistic, it has been decided to quantify the standard of living of the population by indicators based on household incomes. The first indicator considered is the median income by consumption unit. (It is an indicator a little more accurate that the median income by person, because it takes into account, thanks to a simple weighting system, that the needs of the household do not increase proportionally to its size.) The values of this indicator, in Euros for the towns within the studied site are presented in Table 14: Table 14 Median income by consumption unit from 2003 to 2007(unit: €/ (year* c.u.)
