Vitality score
Vitality score 44.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 35 % of the 6,702 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
Market day (reported, unverified): Monday, Friday de 8h30 à 13h30 quai Robert Richet au Portrieux (lundi) et près de l'église dans le quartier de Saint-Quay (centre-ville) (vendredi). No source says whether it is weekly or monthly. [5]
Trajectory
Population 3,052 (2012) → 3,224 (2023): 5.6 % over 10 years. [6,1]
Population 3,018 (1990) → 3,224 (2023): 6.8 % over 30 years. [7,1]
Dwellings (2023): 4,159, of which 52.1 % second homes and 4.5 % vacant. [8]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Saint-Quay-Portrieux): 0 km to the south (straight line). [9]
Food shop (Saint-Quay-Portrieux): 0.4 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]
GP (Binic-Étables-sur-Mer): 3 km to the south (straight line). [10]
Pharmacy (Saint-Quay-Portrieux): 0.2 km to the south (straight line). [9]
Primary school (Saint-Quay-Portrieux): 0.4 km to the south (straight line). [9]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 2 days a year at or above 30 °C and 11 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the ST BRIEUC weather station, 12.9 km away at 135 m; the village itself is at 25 m. [11]
The village sits 110 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at ST BRIEUC, 12.9 km away at 135 m, over 30 summers. [11]
That station sits 110 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 761 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 5.8 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at ST BRIEUC, 12.9 km away at 135 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
310 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 284,500 € — 2,912 € per m² of built surface. [12]
239 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 170,900 € — 3,974 € per m². [12]
The median across Côtes-d'Armor is 1,539 € per m², so this commune sits above 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.
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 Saint-Quay-Portrieux'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.
