Data highlights are ordered by what stands out in Plancoët.
Criminal damage topped the graded crimes in Plancoët (2025). 2025 saw 27 offenses recorded locally. Jobs outnumber working residents in Plancoët (1,650 to 1,250): it draws people in from around.
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, 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 (21.0% of the index here). That estimated share passes 10%, so treat this Safety Grade with more caution than most. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses. 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.
Children under 15 make up 13% of residents. Nearly a tenth of the population is aged 15 to 24, about level with Côtes-d'Armor’s towns (9.3%) and below compared French towns (11%). Degrees are held by 21% of adults.
53% women, 47% men
About 88 men for every 100 women. Median share of women: Côtes-d'Armor 52.9%, France 51.8%. Women live longer than men, so towns with many older residents have more women.
