Vitality score
Vitality score 33.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 35 % of the 13,088 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
An average of 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 29 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the SEGRE_SAPC weather station, 16.3 km away at 25 m; the village itself is at 50 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at BEAUCOUZE, 18.2 km away at 50 m, over 30 summers. [11]
An average of 714 mm of rain a year, spread over 117 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at LE LION D'ANG., 6 km away at 52 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
72 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 217,000 € — 1,798 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Maine-et-Loire is 1,797 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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 Thorigné-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.
