Vitality score
Vitality score 73.6/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 99 % of the 3,174 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 and village life
Weekly market (reported, unverified): Monday, Friday le lundi matin et le vendredi après-midi en centre-ville, sur la place de la République. [5]
Trajectory
Population 7,455 (2012) → 7,674 (2023): 2.9 % over 10 years. [6,1]
Population 5,257 (1990) → 7,674 (2023): 46 % over 30 years. [7,1]
Dwellings (2023): 3,771, of which 2.9 % second homes and 6.7 % vacant. [8]
Access and surroundings

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 26 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LA-NOE-BLANCHE weather station, 9.3 km away at 89 m; the village itself is at 104 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at LA-NOE-BLANCHE, 9.3 km away at 89 m, over 29 summers. [10]
An average of 848 mm of rain a year, spread over 133 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at PANCE, 5.8 km away at 54 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
410 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 207,000 € — 2,027 € per m² of built surface. [11]
150 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 118,000 € — 2,226 € per m². [11]
The median across Ille-et-Vilaine is 2,168 € 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.
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 Bain-de-Bretagne'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.
