Is Lanvénégen a good place to live?

Schools are its strong suit: brevet results 5 points above the expected rate. Incomes are on the low side (D−): 0.4 jobs per working resident; 10.8% unemployment. It lags on health as well — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 4% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Buying 70 m² at the median €1,154/m² takes 3.5 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes Roi Morvan Communauté. Getting around depends on the car: 31% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 4% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work.
