Vitality score
Vitality score 63.9/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 86 % of the 3,079 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 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 33 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LE RHEU-INRAE weather station, 6.6 km away at 38 m; the village itself is at 33 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at LE RHEU-INRAE, 6.6 km away at 38 m, over 20 summers. [10]
An average of 718 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 5.8 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LE RHEU-INRAE, 6.6 km away at 38 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
266 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 289,650 € — 2,686 € per m² of built surface. [11]
240 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 162,790 € — 2,864 € 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 Mordelles'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.
