Where it does best is safety: an average of 6.4 recorded violent incidents and 10 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. What counts against it is schools — brevet results 3 points below the expected rate.

Elsewhere it is close to typical: B− for health and B for jobs & income.

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 other physical violence, sexual violence, burglary, vehicle theft and theft from vehicles, 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, 16.7% of the index here. That estimated share passes 10%, so treat this Safety Grade with more caution than most. 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.
Among adults, 16% have a degree. Young adults of 15 to 24 are one in ten residents, lower than both Seine-Maritime’s towns (11%) and compared French towns (11%). Yerville has a median age of 47.4 years.
54% women, 46% men
About 84 men for every 100 women. Median share of women: Seine-Maritime 52.8%, France 51.8%. Women live longer than men, so towns with many older residents have more women.
