Chabris has no overall grade because safety isn’t graded here. Its weakest subject is schools (D−): brevet results 8 points below the expected rate. Its strongest is cost of living (A): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 3 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality.
Hazard risk isn’t graded in France yet: national flood maps cover only some areas.
Each subject compares Chabris 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.

HealthHealth C
Chabris’ death rate, adjusted for age and care homes, is higher than in 66% of compared French towns
Care access and life expectancy are shown for context, not graded.
From 2016 to 2025, 487 residents of Chabris died, against 452 expected from France’s death rates at each age: 8% more. Its care home for older people (64 places) counts its residents as Chabris’; allowing for it, deaths were 6% below expected. The adjustment lowers most towns’ figures, so the comparison is what counts: the median of compared French towns is 12% below expected. The care-home adjustment is a TownRatings modeling step, not an official statistic.

Safety
Chabris has no Safety Grade: over a quarter of its index would rest on the département’s average
Police and gendarmerie recorded 34 offenses in the graded categories in Chabris in 2025. For family violence, sexual violence, burglary 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, 28.3% of the index here. With 1,200 jobs for 1,000 working residents, Chabris draws people from neighboring communes, and crimes are counted in the commune where they happen, then divided by its number of residents.
