Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
In Haute-Garonne, Occitanie, this town has 3,381 residents.
Good on most counts; one lags. Its strongest is safety: an average of 1.9 recorded violent incidents and 11.6 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. The catch is cost of living: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 7.1 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Put together, the subjects come to an A− overall, ranking #28 of 85 in Haute-Garonne. On that grade it does better than 78% of compared French towns. The rest of its grades are middling: B− for schools, B− for jobs & income and B for walkability.

Data highlights are ordered by what stands out in Vernet.
28 offenses were reported in Vernet during 2025. In 2025, criminal damage led the graded crimes here.
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, vehicle theft 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, 14.9% of the index here. With more than 10% of the index estimated that way, this Safety Grade is less sure than most. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses.
Care access and life expectancy are shown for context, not graded.
Vernet has 5 family doctors. Adjusted mortality here: 80 deaths for every 100 expected. 190 deaths locally between 2016 and 2025, where France’s rates at each age predict 236: 20% below. Life expectancy at birth in Haute-Garonne is 86.4 years for women and 82.1 for men (2025), against 85.9 and 80.3 across France.
