Show all 60 towns Dots: each town’s overall grade, sized by population. Labels: the top five.
19 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.

What is the best place to live in Gard? Pujaut ranks first of 60 graded towns of 2,500 or more: safety (A) and schools (A−) are its strongest grades; cost of living (D) is its lowest. Villeneuve-lès-Avignon and Laudun-l'Ardoise follow.
How do the biggest towns in Gard grade? Nîmes (151,839 people) grades D overall, with its best grade in walkability. Alès (46,125 people) grades C overall, with its best grade in walkability.
How are these towns ranked? By the overall grade, which blends six graded subjects (cost of living, safety, schools, health, jobs and income, walkability) from public data, each comparing a town with every French town of 1,000 or more. The rank is among the towns of 2,500 or more in Gard, where five or more have an overall grade.
Is every commune in Gard on TownRatings? Yes: all 350 have their page, listed on this page. Grading depends on size: the 68 towns of 2,500 or more get every grade we can give them, the 73 of 1,000 to 2,499 get subject grades, and the 209 villages under 1,000 have their page with the figures, without grades.
Why isn’t my town ranked? The ranking covers towns of 2,500 or more with an overall grade. Aubais and Bagard and Boisset-et-Gaujac and Caveirac and 4 more have no overall grade; their pages show the grades they have, and why.
