Vitality score
Vitality score 15.7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 34 % of the 17,060 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 1 day a year at or above 30 °C and 12 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the GONNEVILLE weather station, 1.7 km away at 134 m; the village itself is at 96 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at GONNEVILLE, 1.7 km away at 134 m, over 30 summers. [11]
An average of 954 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at GONNEVILLE, 1.7 km away at 134 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
20 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 167,500 € — 2,042 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Manche is 1,444 € per m², so this commune sits above 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 Carneville'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.
