Vitality score
Vitality score 64.8/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 88 % of the 3,526 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 44 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MONTERFIL weather station, 9.2 km away at 88 m; the village itself is at 44 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at MONTERFIL, 9.2 km away at 88 m, over 10 summers. [10]
An average of 854 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at MONTERFIL, 9.2 km away at 88 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
257 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 255,820 € — 2,403 € per m² of built surface. [11]
153 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 132,000 € — 2,361 € per m². [11]
The median across Ille-et-Vilaine is 2,168 € per m², so this commune sits above 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 Montfort-sur-Meu'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.
