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.

Natural and industrial hazards.

Figures for the whole commune of Paris: major hazards listed by the State, prevention plans in force and natural-disaster declarations since 1982.

Natural-disaster declarations by type

Floods and mudflows16
Storms and cyclones1
Ground movement1
Drought (clay shrinkage)1
Other (snow, hail, avalanches…)1

A natural-disaster declaration (arrêté CatNat) lets insurers pay out for the damage. The count reflects past events, not a forecast of future risk. The list of hazards comes from each département’s major-risk file; a prevention plan in force limits building in exposed zones.
