Vitality score

Vitality score 61.5/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 91 % of the 7,284 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

An average of 1 day a year at or above 30 °C and 8 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the SIBIRIL S A weather station, 9.5 km away at 52 m; the village itself is at 87 m. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at SIBIRIL S A, 9.5 km away at 52 m, over 29 summers. [9]

An average of 958 mm of rain a year, spread over 150 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. [9]

…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 Plouvorn'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.
