Schools do well: brevet results a point above the expected rate. Its weakest subject is health: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 3% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. A 70 m² home at the median €2,284/m² costs 6.3 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes du Haut Pays Bigouden. Walkability is weaker too — a fifth of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 7% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work.
