Is Pont-Scorff a good place to live?

Pont-Scorff’s schools beat most: brevet results 10 points above the expected rate. The drawback is health — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 6% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Prices are high against local incomes (C): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 6.9 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. All told, that adds up to a B+ overall and a rank of #24 of 54 in Morbihan. It comes out better than 73% of compared French towns. Elsewhere it is close to typical: B− for jobs & income and C+ for walkability.

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, 24.2% 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.
