A town of 4,774 in Haut-Rhin, Grand Est.
Overall, Ingersheim earns an A−: better than just over four fifths of compared French towns, and #22 of 45 in Haut-Rhin. Where it does best is safety (A) — an average of 6 recorded violent incidents and 6.3 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Walkability is a strength too — 99% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 16% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Buying in is costly: A year’s estimated rent on a 70 m² apartment is 40% of the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For sexual violence, vehicle theft 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, 10.6% 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.

Rents are the ministry’s estimates of advertised rents, not rents actually paid.
Renting a house costs an estimated €10.13/m² a month. France’s property-sale records don’t cover Alsace and Moselle, which keep their own land register, so the Cost Grade here uses rent alone.
