Safety
Crime per resident in Aubin runs lower than in 99% of compared French towns
Police and gendarmerie recorded 25 offenses in the graded categories in Aubin in 2025. On the Safety Grade, Aubin ranks 3rd of the 14 compared towns in Aveyron. 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, 21.0% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most.
