Safety

Naucelle has no Safety Grade: over a quarter of its index would rest on the département’s average

Police and gendarmerie recorded 15 offenses in the graded categories in Naucelle in 2025. For family violence, other physical violence, sexual violence, burglary 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, 48.8% of the index here. With 1,100 jobs for 750 working residents, Naucelle draws people from neighboring communes, and crimes are counted in the commune where they happen, then divided by its number of residents.
