Vitality score

Vitality score 53.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)).

Better served than 84 % of the 11,845 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

Market day: unknown — nothing found in the datasets or on the commune website.

Trajectory

1968: 1,212 2023: 1,459 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 1,352 (2012) → 1,459 (2023): 7.9 % over 10 years. [5,1]

Population 1,183 (1990) → 1,459 (2023): 23.3 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 767, of which 10.3 % second homes and 4.8 % vacant. [7]

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

5 km10 kmGP — 5.6 km SE (Plogastel-Saint-Germain)
In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, Pharmacy GP — 5.6 km SE Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Landudec): 0.1 km to the east (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Landudec): 0.2 km to the north (straight line). [8]

GP (Plogastel-Saint-Germain): 5.6 km to the south-east (straight line). [9]

Pharmacy (Landudec): 0.2 km to the north (straight line). [8]

Primary school (Landudec): 0.3 km to the west (straight line). [8]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 2 days a year at or above 30 °C and 11 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the PLOVAN weather station, 9.8 km away at 10 m; the village itself is at 118 m. [10]

The village sits 108 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at PLOVAN, 9.8 km away at 10 m, over 13 summers. [10]

That station sits 108 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]

An average of 1,045 mm of rain a year, spread over 148 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at PLOZEVET, 6.2 km away at 70 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

94 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 185,000 € — 1,323 € per m² of built surface. [11]

The median across Finistère is 1,821 € per m², so this commune sits below 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 Landudec'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.
