Vitality score

Vitality score 66.4/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Pharmacy).

Better served than 90 % of the 2,984 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.

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. ^[11]

Measured at the MONTREUIL SUR LOIR weather station, 9 km away at 23 m; the village itself is at 38 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[11]

An average of 698 mm of rain a year, spread over 112 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at ANGERS_VILLE, 8.4 km away at 47 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

…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 Verrières-en-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.
