Vitality score
Vitality score 54.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: low (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette); sources disagree on Pharmacy).
Better served than 50 % of the 2,831 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 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 30 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the RENNES-ST JACQUES weather station, 14.7 km away at 36 m; the village itself is at 72 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at RENNES-ST JACQUES, 14.7 km away at 36 m, over 30 summers. [9]
An average of 773 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at RENNES GALLET, 5.5 km away at 66 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
308 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 369,750 € — 3,096 € per m² of built surface. [10]
136 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 198,800 € — 3,117 € per m². [10]
The median across Ille-et-Vilaine is 2,168 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [10]
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 Thorigné-Fouillard'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.
