Vitality score
Vitality score 13.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 31 % of the 15,879 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 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 26 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the COUTANCES weather station, 11.3 km away at 80 m; the village itself is at 72 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at CERISY LA SALLE, 13 km away at 134 m, over 21 summers. [10]
That station sits 62 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 997 mm of rain a year, spread over 147 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at QUETTREVILLE, 5.5 km away at 34 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
18 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 132,500 € — 764 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Manche is 1,444 € 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 Le Mesnil-Aubert'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.
