Vitality score
Vitality score 63.9/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 96 % of the 7,952 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 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 32 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ANGLES weather station, 6.8 km away at 10 m; the village itself is at 12 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at CHATEAU-D'OLONNE, 19.1 km away at 27 m, over 21 summers. [10]
An average of 874 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ANGLES, 6.8 km away at 10 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
448 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 226,750 € — 2,904 € per m² of built surface. [11]
84 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 134,375 € — 3,517 € per m². [11]
The median across Vendée is 2,125 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [11]
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.
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Longeville-sur-Mer'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.
