One weak subject stands out against an otherwise good record. Overall, Fay-aux-Loges earns an A+: better than 96% of compared French towns, and #2 of 43 in Loiret. Where it does best is safety — an average of 3.8 recorded violent incidents and 9.9 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. It is strong on health as well — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 26% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Homes sell for a median €1,998/m²: 70 m² comes to 5 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes des Loges. What holds it back is walkability (C): 65% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 4% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work.
