Is Courville-sur-Eure a good place to live?

On safety it is strong (A−): an average of 7.2 recorded violent incidents and 8.1 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Walkability is another plus: 70% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 24% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. At the median price of €1,909/m², a 70 m² home costs 5.1 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes entre Beauce et Perche. The drawback is health: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 10% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Put together, the subjects come to an A− overall, ranking #3 of 30 in Eure-et-Loir. That leaves it better than 75% of compared French towns. Its other grades sit near the middle: B− for schools and B− for jobs & income.
