Vitality score
Vitality score 36.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 42 % of the 12,432 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.

Bakery (Saint-Quentin-sur-le-Homme): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). [8]
Food shop (Avranches): 2.5 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]
GP (Avranches): 3 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]
Pharmacy (Ducey-Les Chéris): 3.5 km to the south-east (straight line). [10]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the BRECEY weather station, 14 km away at 63 m; the village itself is at 67 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at BRECEY, 14 km away at 63 m, over 15 summers. [11]
An average of 1,065 mm of rain a year, spread over 154 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at ST OVIN, 6.4 km away at 155 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
84 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 180,100 € — 1,203 € 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.

…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-Quentin-sur-le-Homme'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.
