Is Roissy-en-France a good place to live?

Several subjects drag its grade down. Roissy-en-France grades C− overall, better than nearly a fifth of compared French towns, and ranks #40 of 73 in Val-d'Oise. The weak point is safety (D−) — an average of 120.7 recorded violent incidents and 203.7 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 32% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Its best grade is for walkability — 100% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 35% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Schools are a strength too: bac results at the expected rate; brevet results 8 points above the expected rate. Buying 70 m² at the median €3,711/m² takes 11.6 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Communauté d'agglomération Roissy Pays de France.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · Small counts of armed robbery and burglary go unpublished (five or fewer in at least one of the last three years); the département’s average stands in, 0.5% of the index here.
