A solid town with one catch. Police record less crime here than in most towns (A): an average of 5.6 recorded violent incidents and 6.4 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. What holds it back is health — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 15% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. At €1,667/m², the median price, 70 m² costs 4.8 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté d'agglomération Redon Agglomération. The overall grade comes out at A−, better than 81% of compared French towns. That places it #45 of 75 in Ille-et-Vilaine. The rest of its grades are middling: C+ for jobs & income and C+ for walkability.

Criminal damage topped the graded crimes in Pipriac (2025). The 2025 count: 39 offenses in the town.
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 other physical violence, sexual violence, vehicle theft and theft from vehicles, 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, 19.6% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses.
