Vitality score
Vitality score 53.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 62 % of the 5,671 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.

Market and village life
Weekly market (reported, unverified): Saturday 8h00 à 13h00 sous la Halle, rue du 19 mars 1962 et place du Marché. [5]
Trajectory
Population 3,898 (2012) → 3,974 (2023): 1.9 % over 10 years. [6,1]
Population 3,568 (1990) → 3,974 (2023): 11.4 % over 30 years. [7,1]
Dwellings (2023): 5,266, of which 56.6 % second homes and 2.4 % vacant. [8]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Erquy): 0.2 km to the north (straight line). [9]
Food shop (Erquy): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). [9]
GP (Erquy): 0.6 km to the east (straight line). [9]
Pharmacy (Erquy): 0.1 km to the north-east (straight line). [9]
Primary school (Erquy): 0.1 km to the south-east (straight line). [9]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 25 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the QUINTENIC weather station, 12.6 km away at 71 m; the village itself is at 9 m. [10]
The village sits 62 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 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at QUINTENIC, 12.6 km away at 71 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 62 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 710 mm of rain a year, spread over 129 days — about 5.5 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at PLENEUF VA, 7.3 km away at 65 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
406 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 300,000 € — 3,076 € per m² of built surface. [11]
130 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 211,678 € — 4,350 € per m². [11]
The median across Côtes-d'Armor is 1,539 € 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.
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Erquy'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.
