Plenty in its favour, and one clear drawback. Where it does best is safety — an average of 2.7 recorded violent incidents and 4.9 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. The catch is walkability — 31% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 5% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. At the median price of €1,714/m², a 70 m² home costs 4.8 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté d'agglomération Saint-Lô Agglo. Put together, the subjects come to an A+ overall, better than almost every compared French town. Its place in the ranking is #1 of 27 in Manche.

of the index rests on the département’s average, used where small counts aren’t published
Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For other physical violence, sexual violence, burglary, 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, 22.5% of the index here. With more than 10% of the index estimated that way, this Safety Grade is less sure 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.
