Good on most counts; one lags. Its strongest subject is safety (A+) — an average of 6.2 recorded violent incidents and 5.4 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Le Molay-Littry’s overall grade of A− puts it better than 79% of compared French towns, #7 of 46 in Calvados. Schools are another plus (A−) — brevet results 2 points above the expected rate. Health outcomes fall short of most towns: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 2% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Getting around depends on the car: just over half of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 7% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. At the median price of €1,968/m², a 70 m² home costs 5.6 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes Isigny-Omaha Intercom.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · When burglary, vehicle theft 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 (19.9% 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.
