Vitality score

Vitality score 63.2/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 96 % of the 8,514 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.

In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, GP Pharmacy — 6.3 km E Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Lanmeur): 0.3 km to the south-west (straight line). [9]

Food shop (Lanmeur): 0.1 km to the south-west (straight line). [9]

GP (Lanmeur): 0.1 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]

Primary school (Lanmeur): 0.2 km to the south-west (straight line). [9]

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 20 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the LANMEUR weather station, 2.5 km away at 53 m; the village itself is at 108 m. [11]

The village sits 55 m above 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 PLEYBER-CHRIST SA, 19.2 km away at 147 m, over 30 summers. [11]

An average of 1,015 mm of rain a year, spread over 155 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at LANMEUR, 2.5 km away at 53 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

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 Lanmeur'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.
