How TownRatings grades French towns →
The Culture ministry lists 1 historic monument in Uchaud: 1 classé (France’s highest heritage protection) and 0 inscrit (the second level).
The oldest protected part dates from the 2nd century; the first monument here was protected in 1912.
Data highlights are ordered by what stands out in Uchaud.
Police and gendarmerie recorded 52 offenses in the graded categories in Uchaud in 2025. Of the graded crimes in Uchaud, criminal damage came up most often (2025). For other physical violence and theft from vehicles, 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, 10.7% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most.
Not in the gradeTheft without violence, drug use and fraud are shown for information but left out of the Safety Grade, which counts violence plus burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and criminal damage per resident.
