Vitality score
Vitality score 50.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 91 % of the 16,023 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.

Population 580 (1990) → 751 (2023): 29.5 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Landerneau): 6.4 km to the west (straight line). [8]
Food shop (La Martyre): 0.2 km to the south-west (straight line). [9]
GP (La Roche-Maurice): 4.2 km to the north-west (straight line). [10]
Pharmacy (La Roche-Maurice): 4.2 km to the north-west (straight line). [10]
Primary school (La Martyre): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). [9]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 2 days a year at or above 30 °C and 16 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the PENCRAN weather station, 5.4 km away at 146 m; the village itself is at 190 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at LANDIVISIAU, 9.3 km away at 109 m, over 30 summers. [11]
That station sits 81 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 1,436 mm of rain a year, spread over 164 days — about 8.8 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at PENCRAN, 5.4 km away at 146 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
46 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 173,100 € — 1,207 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Finistère is 1,821 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [12]
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 La Martyre'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.
