Vitality score
Vitality score 16.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 79 % of the 7,836 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 31 days a year at or above 30 °C and 33 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the SARTENE weather station, 6.4 km away at 62 m; the village itself is at 474 m. [10]
The village sits 412 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, 6.4 km away at 62 m, over 28 summers. [10]
That station sits 412 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 922 mm of rain a year, spread over 88 days — about 10.5 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at OLMICCIA, 4.8 km away at 364 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
5 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 105,000 € — 2,027 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Corse-du-Sud is 3,889 € 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.

…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 Santa-Maria-Figaniella'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.
