Vitality score
Vitality score 70.7/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 98 % of the 4,560 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 5 days a year at or above 30 °C and 26 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the BEAUMONT EN A. weather station, 7.4 km away at 140 m; the village itself is at 11 m. [10]
The village sits 129 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at ST GATIEN DES B, 8.9 km away at 139 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 128 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 934 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at PIERREFITTE EN, 2.9 km away at 50 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
220 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 272,700 € — 2,771 € per m² of built surface. [11]
104 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 157,500 € — 2,928 € per m². [11]
The median across Calvados is 2,026 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [11]
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 Pont-l'Évêque'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.
