Safety
Noailles has less crime per resident than 57% of compared French towns
Police and gendarmerie recorded 42 offenses in the graded categories in Noailles in 2025. For sexual violence, armed robbery, 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, 10.7% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most.
