Vitality score 68.6/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 94 % of the 2,809 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.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 43 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the MONTREUIL SUR LOIR weather station, 13.9 km away at 23 m; the village itself is at 32 m. [12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [12]

Humidity measured at MARCE, 18.5 km away at 53 m, over 26 summers. [12]

An average of 682 mm of rain a year, spread over 113 days — about 6 mm on a day it rains. [12]

Rainfall measured at CHATEAUNEUF s/S, 1.1 km away at 43 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

Uncertainties

The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [6]

…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 Les Hauts-d'Anjou'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.
