Vitality score
Vitality score 57.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 87 % of the 8,739 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 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 36 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LE RHEU-INRAE weather station, 19.6 km away at 38 m; the village itself is at 102 m. [11]
The village sits 64 m above 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at LE RHEU-INRAE, 19.6 km away at 38 m, over 20 summers. [11]
That station sits 64 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 818 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at BEDEE, 2.8 km away at 116 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
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 Irodouër'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.
