Vitality score

Vitality score 12.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 10 % of the 17,955 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

Days at or above 30 °C 0.9▸

Days at or below 0 °C 30

Muggy days a summer 0.7

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 1 day a year at or above 30 °C and 30 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the VALOGNES weather station, 8.1 km away at 61 m; the village itself is at 37 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at VALOGNES, 8.1 km away at 61 m, over 19 summers. ^[10]

An average of 1,077 mm of rain a year, spread over 148 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at VALOGNES, 8.1 km away at 61 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

31 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 155,190 € — 1,462 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

The median across Manche is 1,444 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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 Saint-Germain-de-Tournebut'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.
