13.7%
of the index rests on the département’s average, used where small counts aren’t published
Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · When family violence, sexual violence, burglary and vehicle theft number five or fewer in a recent year, the figure is withheld, and the index uses the département’s average instead (13.7% of the index here). With more than 10% of the index estimated that way, this Safety Grade is less sure than most. 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. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses.
