Vitality score
Vitality score 59.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 74 % of the 3,133 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 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 28 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the NANTES-BOUGUENAIS weather station, 19 km away at 26 m; the village itself is at 18 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at NANTES-BOUGUENAIS, 19 km away at 26 m, over 30 summers. [10]
An average of 891 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at PELLERIN(LE), 8 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
368 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 300,807 € — 2,854 € per m² of built surface. [11]
36 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 162,979 € — 2,844 € per m². [11]
The median across Loire-Atlantique is 2,768 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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.

…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-Étienne-de-Montluc'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.
