A town of 2,303 in Vendée, Pays de la Loire.
Landeronde has subject grades but no overall grade: French towns get one from 2,500 residents. Its weakest subject is walkability (D): 55% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 3% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. At the median price of €2,429/m², a 70 m² home costs 6.5 times the median annual income per consumption unit (an income adjusted for household size) in the Communauté d'agglomération La Roche-sur-Yon Agglomération. Its strongest is health (A): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 30% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns.
