With 4,350 jobs for 1,550 working residents, Collégien draws people in from neighbouring communes. Also worth knowing: more of the graded crimes here were criminal damage than anything else (2025).
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, the count isn’t published when it’s small (five or fewer in a year of the last three), so the index uses the département’s average, 2.9% of the index here. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses. Crimes are counted in the commune where they happen, then divided by its residents, so a town that draws people in from around can look higher.
