Laborie

2010 Census population proxy: Laborie administrative district 6,535 (2010; administrative-district proxy; old and not a current constituency count).

Unemployment rate, both sexes: 18.11% (2025; CSO district-of-residence survey proxy).

Unemployment rate by sex: female 19.94%; male 9.87% (2025; CSO district proxy; public table does not show small-area confidence intervals).

Fishing and coastal commerce: Laborie is a fishing village and coastal livelihoods are directly exposed to beach erosion and marine change; no current landing/value series was found.

Agriculture, market trade and food: The new Laborie Market hosted Farm Fest to connect farmers, producers and consumers and stimulate local business.

Culture, craft and community tourism: Music festival, craft studio and Anse Kawet community-tourism work show an active culture-led enterprise strategy.

Digital skills and commuting/services: A Digital Development Centre supports ICT learning and enterprise. Proximity to Vieux Fort likely supports commuting, but no origin-destination data were located.

McDiarmed Road at Ma Jomel was officially opened in January 2025 after completion.

A newly constructed Laborie Market was in use for Farm Fest in May 2025.

A Digital Development Centre opened in May 2024, and La Tortue Hand Crafting Studio opened in November 2024 following training for 19 participants.

The 2024/25 shelter list identifies Laborie Boys' and Girls' primary schools, Laborie and Augier churches/school facilities and Banse/La Grace assets; this does not assess learning quality or shelter capacity.

Primary-care access is locally distributed but specialist/hospital care is a shared southern issue; St Jude's Augier-site boundary relationship should be geocoded before assigning it to Laborie or Vieux-Fort South.

Strong community identity and a track record of community-led cultural, craft and tourism initiatives.

A walkable historic fishing village and shoreline with authentic food/culture potential.

A new market and digital centre can support producers and entrepreneurs beyond tourism.

Proximity to Vieux Fort's airport, hospital and industrial/service economy is a potential labour-market asset if transport works.

Laborie's revitalization approach combines market infrastructure, farm sales, music, craft, tourism and digital skills.

McDiarmed Road has a documented completion/opening, unlike many announcement-only projects.

Community-tourism agreements seek direct commercial links with a travel company rather than only awareness promotion.

Coastal protection must avoid sacrificing beach access, fishing function and public realm; there is no visible constituency shoreline-management plan.

The new market and event programme need vendor occupancy, operating-hours, sales, sanitation and cold-chain metrics.

Community tourism may lack booking distribution, signage, insurance, product standards and dependable transport.

Augier, La Grace, Gomier and other inland communities need the same visibility as Laborie's waterfront in road, drainage, water and service planning.

Digital-centre success should be measured by certifications, placements, businesses and income, not attendance alone.

The 2025 district proxy has the highest both-sex unemployment estimate among these five administrative geographies, but a local sample/sector breakdown is absent.

Festivals and community tours can be episodic; success depends on year-round products, bookings, transport and customer pipelines.

No public constituency series shows primary-care utilization, ambulance/referral time, school attendance, learning, TVET completion or digital outcomes.

Full southern hospital access depends on successful St Jude commissioning and transport, not only completion of the building.

Beach erosion and sea-level rise threaten the village shoreline, fishing access, public space and blue-economy identity.

Inland roads and communities also face drainage and slope risks that can be overshadowed by coastal priorities.

No current constituency-level crime, road-safety, fire-response or disaster-loss dataset was found.
