Home burglaries, 1021 cities shown. The coloured surface estimates the local tendency from nearby ranked cities. Exact city values remain in the table. 57 ranked overseas cities are not plotted: they fall outside this map's frame. Projection: longitude compressed by cos(46.3°N), so east-west and north-south distances stay comparable. Source: SSMSI, délinquance enregistrée par commune · 2023-2025.

    Scope, method and sources

    Scope: France, metropolitan and overseas, Corsica and the DROM included. This dataset holds every commune of 10,000 inhabitants or more, plus smaller communes famous enough to be household names, 1,131 in all. It is not the full list of 35,000 French communes, so a village can sit outside a ranking whose extreme it would otherwise hold.

    Method and sources: populations are the INSEE legal populations, boundaries and coordinates come from the IGN commune registry, both served by geo.api.gouv.fr. Density is the population divided by the commune's area; distances are measured as the crow flies from the commune's centre. Data read on August 28, 2026.

    In order: Vétraz-Monthoux (21.3 / 1,000 dwellings), Cestas (20.2 / 1,000 dwellings), L'Union (19.4 / 1,000 dwellings), Gaillard (18.6 / 1,000 dwellings), Cesson-Sévigné (17.7 / 1,000 dwellings), Saint-Avertin (17.1 / 1,000 dwellings), Balma (16.6 / 1,000 dwellings), Marly (57) (16.4 / 1,000 dwellings), Kourou (16.1 / 1,000 dwellings), Bois-Guillaume (16 / 1,000 dwellings).
    Where does this figure come from?
    Straight from SSMSI, délinquance enregistrée par commune, joined to each commune by its INSEE code and never retyped by hand. A commune the source does not cover is left out of the table rather than shown as a zero: an absence and a measured zero are different facts, and only one of them is safe to rank.

    The table below ranks the top 50 of the 1,078 cities in the dataset, each with its département, its region and the figure it is ranked on (home burglaries), so you can see not just the order but how far apart the places are. The numbers are official public data: INSEE legal populations and the IGN commune registry, with the exact method and the exact scope stated under the table rather than left to be guessed at.

    The same data answers neighbouring questions too: see Home burglaries: the bottom 50 French cities and Criminal damage: the top 50 French cities, or all rankings for the full list. All of it comes from Le Bon Rang, a free daily game that gives you five French cities and one of these statistics and asks you for the order.
