Vitality score

Vitality score 64.7/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 96 % of the 7,466 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 1 day a year at or above 30 °C and 3 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the PLOUGONVELIN weather station, 3.4 km away at 22 m; the village itself is at 29 m. [10]

An average of 1,014 mm of rain a year, spread over 154 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at LE CONQUET, 1.5 km away at 33 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

Uncertainties

The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]
