Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For family violence, burglary, vehicle theft, theft from vehicles and criminal damage, this figure isn’t published when it’s small (five or fewer in at least one of the last three years); the index uses the département’s average instead, 53.3% of the index here. 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.
