Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
Population 4,554: a town in Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
A solid town with one catch. Households here earn well: 0.5 jobs per working resident; 6.3% unemployment. With a B overall, Gréasque sits #12 of 99 in Bouches-du-Rhône. That leaves it better than 64% of compared French towns. Police record less crime here than in most towns: an average of 5.1 recorded violent incidents and 10.7 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. What holds it back is cost of living: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 11.6 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Its other grades sit near the middle: C+ for schools and B for walkability.

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 sexual violence, 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, 17.3% of the index here. With more than 10% of the index estimated that way, this Safety Grade is less sure than most. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses.
