Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
It is a town of 4,618 residents in Haute-Garonne, Occitanie.
A solid town with one catch. Safety is its strong suit (A+): an average of 2.9 recorded violent incidents and 8.6 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Bouloc grades A overall, better than 94% of compared French towns, and ranks #6 of 85 in Haute-Garonne. Households here earn well (A): 0.4 jobs per working resident; 6.4% unemployment. The drawback is walkability — 47% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 5% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. At the median price of €2,503/m², a 70 m² home costs 6.1 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes du Frontonnais.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For other physical violence, sexual violence and theft from vehicles, the count isn’t published when it’s small (five or fewer in a year of the last three), so the index uses the département’s average, 12.0% 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.
