Vitality score
Vitality score 70.6/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 83 % of the 1,433 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 5 days a year at or above 30 °C and 16 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the GUERANDE weather station, 3.9 km away at 4 m; the village itself is at 49 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at GUERANDE, 3.9 km away at 4 m, over 25 summers. [10]
An average of 677 mm of rain a year, spread over 110 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at GUERANDE, 3.9 km away at 4 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
916 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 369,470 € — 3,218 € per m² of built surface. [11]
332 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 189,500 € — 3,800 € per m². [11]
The median across Loire-Atlantique is 2,768 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [11]
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.
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Guérande'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.
