Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
Population 4,261: a town in Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
A good place to live, if you can afford it. Health outcomes beat most towns: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 21% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Getting around on foot or by bus is easy: 90% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 10% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. The trade-off is cost of living: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 8.3 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. All told, that adds up to a B+ overall, better than 69% of compared French towns. Its place in the ranking is #6 of 99 in Bouches-du-Rhône. Its remaining grades are unremarkable: B for schools and B for jobs & income.

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 · When other physical violence, sexual violence and theft from vehicles number five or fewer in a recent year, the figure is withheld, and the index uses the département’s average instead (17.2% of the index here). As that share tops 10%, this Safety Grade carries more doubt than most. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses.
