Vitality score

Vitality score 10.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 7 % of the 18,024 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.

An average of 2 days a year at or above 30 °C and 13 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

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

Humidity measured at POMMERIT-JAUDY, 9 km away at 55 m, over 20 summers. [11]

An average of 892 mm of rain a year, spread over 143 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. [11]

…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 Brélidy'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.
