Vitality score

Vitality score 41.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 5 % of the 2,443 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 6,207 (1990) → 10,027 (2023): 61.5 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 4,415, of which 1.2 % second homes and 4.1 % vacant. [7]

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

2.5 km5 kmGP — 0.5 km S (Saint-Loubès)
In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, Pharmacy GP — 0.5 km S 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 (Saint-Loubès): 0.2 km to the east (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Saint-Loubès): 0.2 km to the north-west (straight line). [8]

Primary school (Saint-Loubès): 0.1 km to the north (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 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 40 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the BEYCHAC ET CAIL weather station, 8.5 km away at 40 m; the village itself is at 25 m. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at ST GERVAIS, 12.8 km away at 42 m, over 29 summers. [9]

An average of 815 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at BEYCHAC ET CAIL, 8.5 km away at 40 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

What property sold for

399 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 295,000 € — 2,633 € per m² of built surface. [10]

48 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 173,500 € — 2,730 € per m². [10]

The median across Gironde is 2,989 € per m², so this commune sits below 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 Saint-Loubès'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.
