Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · When family violence, other physical violence, sexual violence, burglary and criminal damage number five or fewer in a recent year, the figure is withheld, and the index uses the département’s average instead (100.0% of the index here). Crimes are counted in the commune where they happen, then divided by its residents, so a town that draws people in from around can look higher.
