The data are hard on it. Health is a weak point (D): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 14% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Pont-Audemer’s overall grade is C−, better than nearly a fifth of compared French towns. It ranks #28 of 39 in Eure.

Its schools beat most: bac results 2.1 points above the expected rate; brevet results at the expected rate. A 70 m² home at the median €1,968/m² costs 5.6 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes de Pont-Audemer / Val de Risle.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For armed robbery, 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, 0.2% 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.
