Where does Toulouse stand in terms of security compared to other major French cities? the interior ministry published data at the beginning of the month that provide some answers to this question.
The writing ofNews Lille analyzed the statistics of the Ministry of the Interior in order to establish classifications which make it possible to compare the number of misdeeds awarded to Toulouse compared to the other 14 largest cities in the country. These data are expressed as a rate per 1000 inhabitants during the year 2021.
A large number of burglaries
First lesson of this comparison: Toulouse is in the Top 3 French cities where the number of burglaries is the most important. On the census a ten burglaries per 1000 inhabitants, only the cities of Marseille and Bordeaux are ahead of the Ville Rose in this sad ranking.
Toulouse is also the sixth city most affected by violent robberies with weapons. The facts related to the number of inhabitants (0.3) are for example more numerous there than in the capital.
At the level of intentional assault and battery and vehicle theft, also known as “trailer theft”, Toulouse is globally in line with the average of large French cities.
It can therefore be seen from the data that Toulouse is no less safe than other major French cities, apart from burglaries. These statistics do not, however, take into account the facts of drug trafficking or road crime.
