Is Montamisé a good place to live?
A strong record with one exception. Its strongest subject is safety: an average of 1.8 recorded violent incidents and 9.5 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Taken together, its subjects give Montamisé an A overall, better than 90% of compared French towns. That places it #6 of 29 in Vienne. Most journeys need a car: 47% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 4% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Buying 70 m² at the median €2,282/m² takes 6.3 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Communauté urbaine du Grand Poitiers.
