Police and gendarmerie recorded 82 offenses in the graded categories in Replonges in 2025. For other physical violence, sexual violence and theft from vehicles, this figure isn’t published when it’s small (five or fewer in at least one of the last three years); the index uses the département’s average instead, 11.2% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most.
Not in the gradeTheft without violence, drug use and fraud are shown for information but left out of the Safety Grade, which counts violence plus burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and criminal damage per resident.

Care access and life expectancy are shown for context, not graded.
From 2016 to 2025, 267 residents of Replonges died, against 299 expected from France’s death rates at each age: 11% fewer. Its care home for older people (8 places) counts its residents as Replonges’; allowing for it, deaths were 13% below expected. The adjustment lowers most towns’ figures, so the comparison is what counts: the median of compared French towns is 12% below expected. The care-home adjustment is a TownRatings modeling step, not an official statistic. A less sure grade: it could be anywhere from C to B+.
