Vitality score
Vitality score 64.8/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 97 % of the 7,918 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 3 days a year at or above 30 °C and 20 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the CERISY LA SALLE weather station, 15.5 km away at 134 m; the village itself is at 117 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at CERISY LA SALLE, 15.5 km away at 134 m, over 21 summers. [11]
An average of 1,104 mm of rain a year, spread over 152 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at CERISY LA SALLE, 15.5 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
161 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 120,000 € — 687 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Manche is 1,444 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [6]

…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 Percy-en-Normandie'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.
