Vitality score
Vitality score 46.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 29 % of the 5,043 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 day (reported, unverified): Tuesday, Friday matin de 9h à 13h place de la mairie. No source says whether it is weekly or monthly. [5]

Population 4,176 (1990) → 4,548 (2023): 8.9 % over 30 years. [7,1]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 3 days a year at or above 30 °C and 18 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the PLEYBER-CHRIST SA weather station, 6.1 km away at 147 m; the village itself is at 128 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at PLEYBER-CHRIST SA, 6.1 km away at 147 m, over 30 summers. [10]
An average of 1,040 mm of rain a year, spread over 160 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at PLOUGONVEN, 4.9 km away at 162 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
250 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 165,000 € — 1,566 € per m² of built surface. [11]
9 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 115,000 € — 1,677 € per m². [11]
The median across Finistère is 1,821 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]
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 Plourin-lès-Morlaix'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.
