Vitality score

Vitality score 56.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 72 % of the 5,415 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

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 41 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the FEINS weather station, 16 km away at 76 m; the village itself is at 109 m. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at FEINS SA, 16.4 km away at 87 m, over 20 summers. [9]

An average of 894 mm of rain a year, spread over 136 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at ST-AUBIN-DU-C., 0.3 km away at 114 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

…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 Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier'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.
