Plenty in its favour, and one clear drawback. Safety is its strong suit: an average of 4.6 recorded violent incidents and 8.2 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. It is strong on cost of living as well: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 4.6 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. What counts against it is walkability: 64% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 4% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. The overall grade lands at A, #3 of 22 in Lot-et-Garonne. On that grade it does better than 89% of compared French towns.

Hazard risk isn’t graded in France yet: national flood maps cover only some areas. The overall grade uses the other six subjects.
Each subject compares Layrac 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.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · When other physical violence, sexual violence, vehicle theft 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 (10.1% 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.
