A solid town with one catch. Overall, Feytiat earns an A−, better than 80% of compared French towns. In the ranking it comes #7 of 19 in Haute-Vienne. Safety is its strong suit — an average of 1.4 recorded violent incidents and 11.9 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Jobs & income is a strength too: 1.2 jobs per working resident; 8.1% unemployment. The trade-off is walkability — 52% 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 €1,979/m², a 70 m² home costs 5.6 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté urbaine Limoges Métropole.
