Crépy has subject grades but no overall grade: French towns get one from 2,500 residents. Its weakest subject is jobs & income (D−): 0.3 jobs per working resident; 11.3% unemployment. Its strongest is cost of living (A−): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 4.1 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 Crépy 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.

Safety
Crépy has more crime per resident than 54% of compared French towns
Police and gendarmerie recorded 32 offenses in the graded categories in Crépy in 2025. For family violence, other physical violence, sexual violence, vehicle theft 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, 15.2% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most.
