Explore the history →Data highlights are ordered by what stands out in Traînou.
Police and gendarmerie recorded 34 offenses in the graded categories in Traînou in 2025. Of the graded crimes in Traînou, family violence came up most often (2025). For sexual violence, 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, 24.2% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most.
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.
