Vitality score
Vitality score 46.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 67 % of the 11,541 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.

Trajectory
Population 1,320 (2012) → 1,519 (2023): 15.1 % over 10 years. [5,1]
Population 646 (1990) → 1,519 (2023): 135.1 % over 30 years. [6,1]
Dwellings (2023): 913, of which 20.6 % second homes and 3.9 % vacant. [7]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Landevieille): 0.2 km to the west (straight line). [8]
Food shop (Landevieille): 0.4 km to the north (straight line). [8]
GP (La Chaize-Giraud): 1.2 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]
Pharmacy (Bretignolles-sur-Mer): 4 km to the west (straight line). [10]
Primary school (Landevieille): 0.3 km to the west (straight line). [8]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 25 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LA MOTHE ACHARD weather station, 13.4 km away at 58 m; the village itself is at 31 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at CHATEAU-D'OLONNE, 19.2 km away at 27 m, over 21 summers. [11]
An average of 832 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at SAINT GILLES CR, 9.9 km away at 17 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
135 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 230,000 € — 2,614 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Vendée is 2,125 € per m², so this commune sits above 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 Landevieille'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.
