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 armed robbery and burglary, 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, 4.0% of the index here. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses. Crimes are counted in the commune where they happen, then divided by its residents, so a town that draws people in from around can look higher.
Rents are the ministry’s estimates of advertised rents, not rents actually paid.
Houses made up 81% of the homes sold; apartments the rest. For a house, the estimated advertised rent is €11.33/m² a month. From July 2023 to June 2026, 122 homes were sold in Tinténiac.
