DEMOGRAPHIC DYNAMISM AND RENEWAL

Lanmeur's population continues to grow: according to recent figures, it stands at 2,367 inhabitants (2022 census).

Each year, the town welcomes new residents—in 2024, around sixty newcomers (particularly young families) were invited to the town hall for a welcome reception.

Many families are drawn to Lanmeur because it combines a rural lifestyle (peace and quiet, nature, heritage) with local services: shops, schools, a middle school, etc.

For someone coming from Morlaix or the surrounding area, it's a good compromise: proximity to services + a peaceful setting while remaining reasonably accessible.

- Good network of services, facilities & local life
GOOD NETWORK OF SERVICES, FACILITIES AND LOCAL LIFE

The town has schools (public and private) and a middle school (Collège Aux Quatre-Vents) — which attracts families with children.

There is a real local dynamism: shops, artisans, associations — which brings life all year round, not just seasonally.

In 2025, the town stated its intention to "preserve the quality of life of its residents," which suggests a commitment to maintaining or improving local services and the environment.

There are collective and environmental initiatives — for example, guided walks and consultations on land-use planning, raising awareness of biodiversity and environmental health through the ULAMiR-CPIE association.

HOUSING PRIMARILY CONSISTS OF HOUSES, IDEAL FOR FAMILIES

The housing stock is predominantly made up of detached houses (over 90%), creating a low-density, residential atmosphere.

A significant proportion of residences are primary residences, indicating that many people live there long-term — a sign of stability.

The municipality is implementing projects to improve social housing and the overall housing situation — notably the creation of social housing (with support from the department) to meet demand.

It is therefore a good setting for families or individuals seeking stable housing with space — a detached house, a high quality of life.

GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION AND QUALITY OF LIFE "BETWEEN LAND AND SEA"

Lanmeur is well situated between major urban centers, offering a good compromise: close enough to the sea and the coast, yet inland—providing a peaceful setting without being isolated.

The blend of nature, rural life, heritage, and services makes it a peaceful place to live, but with all the amenities: a “better quality of life” that is attracting more and more households.
