Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · When other physical violence, burglary and vehicle theft number five or fewer in a recent year, the figure is withheld, and the index uses the département’s average instead (16.2% of the index here). Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure 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.
A house rents for an estimated €11.94/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.
