Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
The town, home to 4,411 people, lies in Corse-du-Sud, Corsica.
Some subjects shine; others lag. Overall, Bastelicaccia earns a B−, which places it #4 of 9 in Corse-du-Sud. Nationally, it does better than just over half of compared French towns. It is a safe place by the numbers (A+): an average of 1.8 recorded violent incidents and 5.8 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Work and incomes are strong: 0.3 jobs per working resident; 6.4% unemployment. Its weakest subject is cost of living (D−) — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 12 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Walkability is weaker too (D) — 58% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 2% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Elsewhere it is close to typical: B− for schools and B− for health.
