Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
With 3,065 residents, it is a town in Loiret, Centre-Val de Loire.
One weak subject stands out against an otherwise good record. Safety is its strong suit: an average of 4.7 recorded violent incidents and 10.4 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. It also does well on health: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 23% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. At €2,026/m², the median price, 70 m² costs 5.1 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes des Loges. What holds it back is schools: brevet results 5 points below the expected rate. The overall grade lands at A−, better than 84% of compared French towns. In the ranking it comes #9 of 43 in Loiret.

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 other physical violence, sexual violence, armed robbery, vehicle theft 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, 23.7% of the index here. That estimated share passes 10%, so treat this Safety Grade with more caution than most. 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.
