The coastal landscape and nature are outstanding — but make demands on homes that must withstand westerly winds and salt. 15.3% vacancy — declining population: 72% of homes are detached houses, and 15.3% vacancy reflects outward migration from an area with limited employment opportunities. Homes are cheap, space is ample — but selling prices are moderate, and renovation is primarily a quality-of-life investment. Lemvig Varmeværk — cheap and green district heating: Lemvig Varmeværk uses sustainable wood chips and biogas from Lemvig Biogas, and is among Denmark's cheapest district heating plants according to the Danish Utility Regulator. Since 2021 an electric boiler is also in use. The heating plant is a source of local pride. ## Housing types | Type | Share | Approx. count | Context | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Detached house from 1950–1990 | 72% | 7640 | Detached houses totally dominate Lemvig.
