Vitality score
Vitality score 51.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 74 % of the 9,364 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 3 days a year at or above 30 °C and 27 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the OUISTREHAM weather station, 3.9 km away at 10 m; the village itself is at 16 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at CAEN-CARPIQUET, 15.6 km away at 67 m, over 30 summers. [9]
That station sits 51 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 721 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 5.4 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at OUISTREHAM, 3.9 km away at 10 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
116 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 269,900 € — 2,863 € per m² of built surface. [10]
The median across Calvados is 2,026 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [10]
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 Ranville'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.
