Vitality score
Vitality score 40.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 55 % of the 12,639 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.

Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie

GP (Plouha): 6 km to the east (straight line). [9]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 3 days a year at or above 30 °C and 21 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LANLEFF weather station, 2.4 km away at 78 m; the village itself is at 93 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at ILE-DE-BREHAT, 17.7 km away at 25 m, over 14 summers. [11]
That station sits 68 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 849 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at LANLEFF, 2.4 km away at 78 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
102 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 173,500 € — 1,374 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Côtes-d'Armor is 1,539 € 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.

…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 Pléhédel'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.
