The 2025 count: 39 offenses in Hœrdt. With 3,950 jobs for 2,200 working residents, Hœrdt draws people in from neighbouring communes. On average over 2023–2025, every 1,000 residents saw 3.9 violent offenses and 7.8 graded property crimes a year. Among the graded crimes locally, the most frequent was burglary (2025).
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.
Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For other physical violence, armed robbery, vehicle theft and theft from vehicles, the count isn’t published when it’s small (five or fewer in a year of the last three), so the index uses the département’s average, 13.3% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses. Crimes are counted in the commune where they happen, then divided by its residents, so a town that draws people in from around can look higher.
Primary schools aren’t graded: France doesn’t publish their results by school.
By results, schools here place #12 of 77 in Bas-Rhin.

Rents are the ministry’s estimates of advertised rents, not rents actually paid.
France’s property-sale records don’t cover Alsace and Moselle, which keep their own land register, so the Cost Grade here uses rent alone.
