Is Veigné a good place to live?

The everyday basics are strong; the price of a home is the catch. Veigné grades A overall and ranks #7 of 37 in Indre-et-Loire. On that grade it does better than 90% of compared French towns. Crime is low: an average of 3.5 recorded violent incidents and 10.9 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Health outcomes beat most towns: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 25% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. What counts against it is cost of living (C): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 6.6 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. It lags on walkability as well: 55% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 7% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work.
