Vitality score
Vitality score 55.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 66 % of the 5,215 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): 2,105, of which 1.2 % second homes and 9 % vacant. [8]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 29 days a year at or above 30 °C and 32 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the CADAUJAC-INRAE weather station, 8.3 km away at 25 m; the village itself is at 17 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at CADAUJAC-INRAE, 8.3 km away at 25 m, over 30 summers. [11]
An average of 906 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at CADAUJAC-INRAE, 8.3 km away at 25 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
178 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 398,600 € — 2,910 € per m² of built surface. [12]
54 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 144,500 € — 2,995 € per m². [12]
The median across Gironde is 2,989 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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 Brède'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.
