Safety.

Offences recorded in 2025, with the rate per 1,000 residents and the change from 2024.

Burglaries of homes333.2 per 1,000+22%

Deliberate damage and vandalism1428.2 per 1,000−14%
Fraud and payment card fraud1267.3 per 1,000+2%

These figures count offences recorded by the police and gendarmerie, not how safe a place feels, and not every offence is reported. Rates are per 1,000 residents (per 1,000 homes for burglaries): where many people visit but few live, as in town centres and shopping areas, they are naturally higher. Small counts are not published.
