Vitality score
Vitality score 52.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Pharmacy).
Better served than 29 % of the 2,223 communes of a similar size.
Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.
Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 46 days a year at or above 30 °C and 6 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the MOUANS SARTOUX weather station, 1.8 km away at 165 m; the village itself is at 125 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 23 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at MOUANS SARTOUX, 1.8 km away at 165 m, over 11 summers. [11]
An average of 833 mm of rain a year, spread over 64 days — about 13 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at MOUANS SARTOUX, 1.8 km away at 165 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
430 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 672,500 € — 4,033 € per m² of built surface. [12]
267 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 270,000 € — 4,028 € per m². [12]
The median across Alpes-Maritimes is 4,054 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [12]
These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Mouans-Sartoux's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
