Vitality score
Vitality score 63.9/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 56 % of the 1,367 communes of a similar size.
Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.
Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Market and village life
A market is recorded here, but no source gives the day. [5]
Trajectory
Population 14,814 (2012) → 17,548 (2023): 18.5 % over 10 years. [6,1]
Population 11,539 (1990) → 17,548 (2023): 52.1 % over 30 years. [7,1]
Dwellings (2023): 13,285, of which 25.5 % second homes and 6.2 % vacant. [8]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Villeneuve-Loubet): 0 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]
Food shop (Villeneuve-Loubet): 0 km to the north (straight line). [9]
GP (Villeneuve-Loubet): 0.1 km to the east (straight line). [9]
Pharmacy (Villeneuve-Loubet): 0.1 km to the south-east (straight line). [9]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 30 days a year at or above 30 °C and 8 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ANTIBES_SAPC weather station, 6.6 km away at 32 m; the village itself is at 12 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 29 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at NICE, 7.1 km away at 2 m, over 30 summers. [10]
An average of 802 mm of rain a year, spread over 62 days — about 12.9 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ANTIBES-OBS, 6.5 km away at 30 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
453 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 550,000 € — 5,769 € per m² of built surface. [11]
2,009 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 240,000 € — 5,594 € per m². [11]
The median across Alpes-Maritimes is 4,054 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [11]
These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Villeneuve-Loubet's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
