Vitality score

Vitality score 51.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 89 % of the 14,839 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 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]

Measured at the POMMERIT-JAUDY weather station, 8.5 km away at 55 m; the village itself is at 39 m. [11]

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

Humidity measured at POMMERIT-JAUDY, 8.5 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]

Rainfall measured at POMMERIT-JAUDY, 8.5 km away at 55 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.

…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 Pleudaniel'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.
