Vitality score

Vitality score 49.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 38 % of the 4,126 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.

An average of 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 26 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the SAINT-JOACHIM_SAE weather station, 11.4 km away at 3 m; the village itself is at 32 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at ST NAZAIRE-MONTOIR, 18.6 km away at 3 m, over 30 summers. ^[10]

An average of 907 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

…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 Missillac'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.
