Eu’s weakest subject is safety (C−) — an average of 15.6 recorded violent incidents and 15.5 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Health is weaker too — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 3% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Buying 70 m² at the median €1,837/m² takes 5.4 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes des Villes Sœurs. On schools it is strong: bac results 3.9 points above the expected rate; brevet results 2.5 points above the expected rate. The overall grade lands at C, #32 of 70 in Seine-Maritime. Nationally, it does better than nearly a third of compared French towns.
