Safety
Tourrettes has more crime per resident than 58% of compared French towns
Police and gendarmerie recorded 52 offenses in the graded categories in Tourrettes in 2025. For sexual violence, burglary, vehicle theft and theft from vehicles, 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, 18.2% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most.

Tourrettes’ death rate, adjusted for age and care homes, is lower than in 52% of compared French towns
Care access and life expectancy are shown for context, not graded.
From 2016 to 2025, 326 residents of Tourrettes died, against 342 expected from France’s death rates at each age: 5% fewer. Its care home for older people (32 places) counts its residents as Tourrettes’; allowing for it, deaths were 13% below expected. The adjustment lowers most towns’ figures, so the comparison is what counts: the median of compared French towns is 12% below expected. The care-home adjustment is a TownRatings modeling step, not an official statistic. A less sure grade: it could be anywhere from C to B+.
