Verfeil’s strongest is safety — an average of 3.3 recorded violent incidents and 8.2 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. At the median price of €2,465/m², a 70 m² home costs 5.5 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes des Coteaux du Girou. What holds it back is walkability: 56% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 7% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Overall, that makes an A+, good for #2 of 85 in Haute-Garonne. On that grade it does better than almost every compared French town.
