Vitality score
Vitality score 27.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 20 % of the 13,725 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 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 26 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LA-NOE-BLANCHE weather station, 14.7 km away at 89 m; the village itself is at 68 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at LA-NOE-BLANCHE, 14.7 km away at 89 m, over 29 summers. [11]
An average of 832 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at PIPRIAC, 3.7 km away at 50 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
106 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 127,990 € — 1,317 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Ille-et-Vilaine is 2,168 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [12]
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.

…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-Just'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.
