Vitality score
Vitality score 61.4/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 80 % of the 3,586 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.

Market day (reported, unverified): Sunday. No source says whether it is weekly or monthly. [5]
Trajectory
Population 6,115 (2012) → 6,670 (2023): 9.1 % over 10 years. [6,1]
Population 5,993 (1990) → 6,670 (2023): 11.3 % over 30 years. [7,1]

GP (Meung-sur-Loire): 0.1 km to the east (straight line). [9]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 61 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ST-HILAIRE-ST-M weather station, 11.7 km away at 100 m; the village itself is at 90 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at ORLEANS, 19 km away at 123 m, over 30 summers. [10]
An average of 673 mm of rain a year, spread over 115 days — about 5.9 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at BAULE, 2.9 km away at 100 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
343 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 180,000 € — 1,909 € per m² of built surface. [11]
83 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 105,000 € — 1,698 € per m². [11]
The median across Loiret is 1,539 € 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 DATAtourisme 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 Meung-sur-Loire'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.
