A town of 4,473 in Haute-Garonne, Occitanie.
Health is a strength: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 34% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. It is a safe place by the numbers (A): an average of 1.2 recorded violent incidents and 12.2 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. The trade-off is cost of living (C−) — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 8.2 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. All told, that adds up to an A overall, better than 92% of compared French towns. Its place in the ranking is #8 of 85 in Haute-Garonne.

Criminal damage topped the graded crimes in Montrabé (2025). All told, Montrabé had 44 recorded offenses in 2025.
Not in the gradeTheft without violence, drug use and fraud are shown for information but left out of the Safety Grade, which counts violence plus burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and criminal damage per resident.
Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For family violence, other physical violence, sexual violence, armed robbery 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, 11.6% 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.
