Vitality score
Vitality score 13.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 54 % of the 10,230 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.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 46 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the REUILLY weather station, 5.1 km away at 155 m; the village itself is at 143 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at REUILLY, 5.1 km away at 155 m, over 16 summers. [9]
An average of 667 mm of rain a year, spread over 109 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at REUILLY, 5.1 km away at 155 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
12 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 57,500 € — 733 € per m² of built surface. [10]
The median across Indre is 880 € per m², so this commune sits below 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 Saint-Pierre-de-Jards'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.
