Vitality score
Vitality score 59.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 80 % of the 5,564 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 24 days a year at or above 30 °C and 20 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the SOORTS-HOSSEGOR weather station, 4.8 km away at 10 m; the village itself is at 20 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 20 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at CAPBRETON, 9.4 km away at 11 m, over 23 summers. [9]
An average of 1,187 mm of rain a year, spread over 132 days — about 9 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at SOORTS-HOSSEGOR, 4.8 km away at 10 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
424 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 650,000 € — 6,503 € per m² of built surface. [10]
596 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 185,000 € — 5,418 € per m². [10]
The median across Landes is 2,237 € 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 Seignosse'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.
