Vitality score
Vitality score 32.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 22 % of the 10,461 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 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 28 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ST GEORGES GARD weather station, 3.8 km away at 203 m; the village itself is at 139 m. [10]
The village sits 64 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at CHOLET, 13.5 km away at 134 m, over 24 summers. [10]
An average of 865 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ST GEORGES GARD, 3.8 km away at 203 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
101 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 167,200 € — 1,455 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Maine-et-Loire is 1,797 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]
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 Vezins'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.
