22 of these towns have a Safety Grade with a caution: between 10% and 25% of their index uses the département’s average for crimes too few to publish.

No overall grade

Towns without an overall grade

Each has its page and the subject grades it has. In France an overall grade needs a Safety Grade, and five graded subjects in all.
