Vitality score
Vitality score 50.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 53 % of the 6,059 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 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 24 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ST-SEGAL S A weather station, 3.2 km away at 89 m; the village itself is at 32 m. [10]
The village sits 57 m below 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. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at ST-SEGAL S A, 3.2 km away at 89 m, over 29 summers. [10]
That station sits 57 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 1,125 mm of rain a year, spread over 153 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ST-SEGAL S A, 3.2 km away at 89 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
355 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 118,000 € — 1,231 € per m² of built surface. [11]
9 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 140,000 € — 939 € 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 Pont-de-Buis-lès-Quimerch'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.
