Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
Home to 2,626 people, this town lies in Nord, Hauts-de-France.
Haspres ranks #116 of 189 in Nord, with a C− overall. It comes out better than just over a fifth of compared French towns. Its weakest is schools (D−): brevet results 9 points below the expected rate. Safety is its strong suit — an average of 7.7 recorded violent incidents and 8.9 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Buying 70 m² at the median €1,341/m² takes 4.3 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Communauté d'agglomération de la Porte du Hainaut. Health is weaker too: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 15% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. The local economy is weaker than most (D−): 0.4 jobs per working resident; 14.0% unemployment.

23% of its homes were built before 1919, against 7.4% in the median compared French town.

Over 2025, Haspres logged 28 recorded offenses. In 2025, criminal damage led the graded crimes here.
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 · When other physical violence, burglary, 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 (20.9% 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.
Rents are the ministry’s estimates of advertised rents, not rents actually paid.
