Ribemont has subject grades but no overall grade: French towns get one from 2,500 residents. Its weakest subject is health (D−): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 45% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. At the median price of €1,075/m², a 70 m² home costs 3.1 times the median annual income per consumption unit (an income adjusted for household size) in the Communauté de communes du Val de l'Oise. Its strongest is schools (A+): brevet results 13 points above the expected rate.
Hazard risk isn’t graded in France yet: national flood maps cover only some areas.
Each subject compares Ribemont 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
Ribemont has less crime per resident than 69% of compared French towns
Police and gendarmerie recorded 35 offenses in the graded categories in Ribemont in 2025. For other physical violence, sexual violence, burglary, 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, 17.6% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most.
