Langon’s strongest is cost of living — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 3.9 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Work and incomes lag (D): 0.8 jobs per working resident; 14.4% unemployment. It also trails on walkability: a quarter of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 11% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Just over one in ten homes here are second homes.
