The picture is mixed. Its best grade is for safety — an average of 3.8 recorded violent incidents and 9.6 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Add schools to its strengths: bac results at the expected rate; brevet results 3.5 points above the expected rate. What holds it back is walkability: just over two in five residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 4% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Buying 70 m² at the median €1,579/m² takes 4.8 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Communauté d'agglomération du Grand Villeneuvois. Incomes are on the low side: 0.4 jobs per working resident; 9.2% unemployment. Put together, the subjects come to a B+ overall, better than 69% of compared French towns. That places it #11 of 22 in Lot-et-Garonne.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · When family 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 (10.6% of the index here). Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses.
