Vitality score
Vitality score 18.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 55 % of the 16,001 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 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 39 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the ST-LOUP-DU-DORAT weather station, 3.3 km away at 60 m; the village itself is at 63 m. [13]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [13]
Humidity measured at GREZ-EN-BOUERE, 8.3 km away at 93 m, over 21 summers. [13]
An average of 753 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at ST-LOUP-DU-DORAT, 3.3 km away at 60 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]
What property sold for
24 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 177,500 € — 1,289 € per m² of built surface. [14]
The median across Mayenne is 1,254 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [14]
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 Beaumont-Pied-de-Bœuf'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.
