Loupian has subject grades but no overall grade: French towns get one from 2,500 residents. Its weakest subject is cost of living (C−): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 9.4 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Its strongest is walkability (B+): 96% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 6% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work.
Hazard risk isn’t graded in France yet: national flood maps cover only some areas.
Each subject compares Loupian with other French towns of 2,500 or more, ordered by how far its rank is from the middle. American and UK towns are graded separately.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For other physical violence, sexual violence and burglary, 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, 11.2% of the index here. That estimated share passes 10%, so treat this Safety Grade with more caution than most. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses.
