Vitality score

Vitality score 50.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 81 % of the 13,460 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.

An average of 5 days a year at or above 30 °C and 37 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the DOL-DE-BRETAGNE weather station, 7 km away at 19 m; the village itself is at 12 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at DOL-DE-BRETAGNE, 7 km away at 19 m, over 11 summers. ^[10]

An average of 788 mm of rain a year, spread over 130 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at CHERRUEIX, 3.5 km away at 8 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

…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-Broladre'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.
