Vitality score
Vitality score 56.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 73 % of the 5,972 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.

Dwellings (2023): 11,117, of which 78.9 % second homes and 1 % vacant. [7]

GP (Cabourg): 0.1 km to the east (straight line). [8]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 3 days a year at or above 30 °C and 28 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the SALLENELLES weather station, 9 km away at 7 m; the village itself is at 4 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 4 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at CAMBREMER, 19.6 km away at 125 m, over 18 summers. [9]
That station sits 121 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 828 mm of rain a year, spread over 140 days — about 5.9 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at DOZULE, 8 km away at 29 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
328 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 304,000 € — 4,587 € per m² of built surface. [10]
1,595 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 156,844 € — 5,000 € per m². [10]
The median across Calvados is 2,026 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [10]
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 Cabourg'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.
