Vitality score
Vitality score 68.5/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Pharmacy).
Better served than 94 % of the 2,905 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.

Weekly market (reported, unverified): Monday, Tuesday. [6,7]
Trajectory
Population 8,488 (2012) → 8,429 (2023): -0.7 % over 10 years. [8,1]
Population 7,648 (1990) → 8,429 (2023): 10.2 % over 30 years. [9,1]
Dwellings (2023): 4,557, of which 9.5 % second homes and 7.5 % vacant. [10]

Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Gennes-Val-de-Loire): 0.1 km to the north-west (straight line). [11]
Food shop (Gennes-Val-de-Loire): 0.2 km to the north (straight line). [11]
GP (Gennes-Val-de-Loire): 0.1 km to the north-east (straight line). [11]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 34 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the LA MENITRE weather station, 7.2 km away at 22 m; the village itself is at 26 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at FONTAINE-GUERIN, 16.6 km away at 41 m, over 21 summers. [12]
An average of 660 mm of rain a year, spread over 111 days — about 5.9 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at GENNES, 1.5 km away at 48 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
574 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 180,000 € — 1,586 € per m² of built surface. [13]
15 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 129,590 € — 973 € per m². [13]
The median across Maine-et-Loire is 1,797 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [13]
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 Gennes-Val-de-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.
