Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
It is a town of 6,539 residents in Moselle, Grand Est.
Real strengths, and real weak spots. Health is a weak point: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 9% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Marange-Silvange grades C+ overall, better than 35% of compared French towns. Its place in the ranking is #33 of 68 in Moselle. Housing is expensive (C−): A year’s estimated rent on a 70 m² apartment is just over two fifths of the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Where it does best is safety: an average of 4.9 recorded violent incidents and 8.8 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Its remaining grades are unremarkable: C+ for schools and B− for jobs & income.

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.
Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For sexual violence and armed robbery, 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, 2.5% of the index here. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses.
Rents are the ministry’s estimates of advertised rents, not rents actually paid.
France’s property-sale records don’t cover Alsace and Moselle, which keep their own land register, so the Cost Grade here uses rent alone.
