Vitality score

Vitality score 35.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 69 % of the 17,267 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.

GP (La Chapelle-Fleurigné): 4.5 km to the north-east (straight line). ^[10]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 7

Days at or below 0 °C 28.1

Muggy days a summer 1.6

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 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 28 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the FOUGERES weather station, 7 km away at 74 m; the village itself is at 97 m. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at LOUVIGNE-DU-DESERT, 18.8 km away at 153 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 56 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 826 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at LUITRE, 1.9 km away at 110 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

…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 La Selle-en-Luitré'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.
