Vitality score
Vitality score 35.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 69 % of the 17,156 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 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 74 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the VILLEMURLIN-PEUPLIERS weather station, 9 km away at 137 m; the village itself is at 130 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at VILLEMURLIN, 11.7 km away at 144 m, over 19 summers. [11]
An average of 766 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at VILLEMURLIN-PEUPLIERS, 9 km away at 137 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
38 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 162,500 € — 1,087 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Loiret is 1,539 € 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 Vannes-sur-Cosson'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.
