What it saves you on housing, it gives back elsewhere. The weak point is schools: bac results 5 points below the expected rate; brevet results 9 points below the expected rate. It lags on health as well (C−): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 1% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · When family violence, other physical violence, sexual violence and theft from vehicles number five or fewer in a recent year, the figure is withheld, and the index uses the département’s average instead (13.9% of the index here). As that share tops 10%, this Safety Grade carries more doubt than most. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses.
