At the median price of €3,185/m², a 70 m² home costs 8.5 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté d'agglomération Concarneau Cornouaille Agglomération. Where it falls short is walkability (C+) — a third of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 9% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Its remaining grades are unremarkable: C+ for health and B− for jobs & income. 48% of homes here are second homes.
