Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
Home to 2,833 people, this town lies in Pas-de-Calais, Hauts-de-France.
The everyday basics are strong; the price of a home is the catch. Where it does best is jobs & income — 0.6 jobs per working resident; 5.5% unemployment. Police record less crime here than in most towns: an average of 2.1 recorded violent incidents and 11 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Buying in is costly: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 7 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Put together, the subjects come to an A overall, ranking #2 of 120 in Pas-de-Calais. That leaves it better than 88% of compared French towns. Elsewhere it is close to typical: B for health and B− for walkability.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · When family violence, other physical violence, sexual violence, 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 (24.2% 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.
