Each edition grades its towns against each other only.

Some subjects shine; others lag. Where it falls short is safety: an average of 19.3 recorded violent incidents and 44.6 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Cost of living is weaker too (D−) — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 10.3 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Its strongest is jobs & income: 9.9 jobs per working resident; 8.5% unemployment. Add walkability to its strengths (A+) — 100% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 33% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. The overall grade comes out at C, better than just over a third of compared French towns. It ranks #20 of 44 in Val-de-Marne.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For armed robbery, this figure isn’t published when it’s small (five or fewer in at least one of the last three years); the index uses the département’s average instead, 0.6% of the index here. 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.
