Vitality score
Vitality score 20.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 35 % of the 18,000 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 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 67 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the ROMORANTIN weather station, 6.6 km away at 83 m; the village itself is at 106 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at ROMORANTIN, 6.6 km away at 83 m, over 30 summers. [11]
An average of 684 mm of rain a year, spread over 112 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at ROMORANTIN, 6.6 km away at 83 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
34 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 120,000 € — 706 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Loir-et-Cher is 1,214 € 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 La Chapelle-Montmartin'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.
