Vitality score

Vitality score 16.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 36 % of the 17,323 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.

Trajectory

1968: 440 2023: 258 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 255 (2012) → 258 (2023): 1.2 % over 10 years. ^[5,1]

Population 280 (1990) → 258 (2023): -7.9 % over 30 years. ^[6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 173, of which 14.5 % second homes and 14.5 % vacant. ^[7]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 4.2

Days at or below 0 °C 23

Muggy days a summer 1.2

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 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 23 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the CAUREL-EDF weather station, 10.3 km away at 150 m; the village itself is at 136 m. ^[11]

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

Humidity measured at PLOUGUENAST, 16.1 km away at 235 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 99 m above 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 1,034 mm of rain a year, spread over 144 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at MUR-DE-BRETAGNE, 6.7 km away at 155 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[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 Saint-Connec'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.
