Is Grenade a good place to live?

Grenade’s weakest is health — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 12% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. At the median price of €2,357/m², a 70 m² home costs 5.9 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes des Hauts-Tolosans. It is a safe place by the numbers: an average of 6.3 recorded violent incidents and 12.3 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. All told, that adds up to a C+ overall, better than 37% of compared French towns. The ranking puts it #72 of 85 in Haute-Garonne. Elsewhere it is close to typical: B− for jobs & income and B for walkability.
