Vitality score
Vitality score 7.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 4 % of the 15,747 communes of a similar size.

…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-Agnant-près-Crocq'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.
