Overall, Petit-Couronne earns a D: better than 10% of compared French towns, and #60 of 70 in Seine-Maritime. The weak point is safety (D) — an average of 8.1 recorded violent incidents and 28 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Walkability is its strong suit: 99% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 15% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Homes sell for a median €1,883/m², so 70 m² costs 5.4 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Métropole Rouen Normandie. Pupils here do less well than most: bac results 5.4 points below the expected rate; brevet results 1.6 points below the expected rate. It lags on jobs & income as well — 0.9 jobs per working resident; 16.9% unemployment.
