Vitality score
Vitality score 53.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 86 % of the 12,766 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 49 days a year at or above 30 °C and 36 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the SOLLACARO weather station, 6.1 km away at 33 m; the village itself is at 347 m. [10]
The village sits 314 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.13 °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 SARTENE, 8.8 km away at 62 m, over 28 summers. [10]
That station sits 285 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 628 mm of rain a year, spread over 70 days — about 9 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at PROPRIANO VILLE, 4.8 km away at 5 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
49 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 580,000 € — 3,976 € per m² of built surface. [11]
38 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 139,000 € — 2,137 € per m². [11]
The median across Corse-du-Sud is 3,889 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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.

…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 Olmeto'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.
