Jujurieux has subject grades but no overall grade: French towns get one from 2,500 residents. Its weakest subject is schools (D): brevet results 6 points below the expected rate. Its strongest is cost of living (A−): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 5 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality.
Hazard risk isn’t graded in France yet: national flood maps cover only some areas.
Each subject compares Jujurieux with other French towns of 2,500 or more, ordered by how far its rank is from the middle. American and UK towns are graded separately.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For other physical violence, sexual violence, armed robbery, burglary and theft from vehicles, the count isn’t published when it’s small (five or fewer in a year of the last three), so the index uses the département’s average, 22.6% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses.
