Vitality score

Vitality score 59.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)).

Better served than 75 % of the 3,400 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

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 52 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the L OUDON LIEURY_SAPC weather station, 3.8 km away at 52 m; the village itself is at 29 m. [11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at L OUDON LIEURY_SAPC, 3.8 km away at 52 m, over 17 summers. [11]

An average of 676 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 5.5 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at L OUDON LIEURY_SAPC, 3.8 km away at 52 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

What property sold for

525 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 165,000 € — 1,150 € per m² of built surface. [12]

38 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 145,750 € — 1,144 € per m². [12]

The median across Calvados is 2,026 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.

Uncertainties

sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)

The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [6]

…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 Saint-Pierre-en-Auge'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.
