Latresne ranks #2 of 100 in Gironde, with an A+ overall. That leaves it better than 97% of compared French towns. Schools are where it shines: bac results 4 points above the expected rate; brevet results 1.7 points above the expected rate. Jobs & income is a strength too (A+) — 1.3 jobs per working resident; 8.1% unemployment. The catch is cost of living — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 8 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For family violence, sexual violence and vehicle theft, 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, 14.5% of the index here. As that share tops 10%, this Safety Grade carries more doubt than most. 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.
