Safety is its strong suit (A) — an average of 7.3 recorded violent incidents and 6.8 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Châtelaudren-Plouagat’s overall grade, A, puts it better than 86% of compared French towns. That places it #6 of 45 in Côtes-d'Armor. At €1,848/m², the median price, 70 m² costs 5.1 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes Leff Armor Communauté. What holds it back is walkability — 64% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 6% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Elsewhere it is close to typical: B− for health and B− for jobs & income.
