Vitality score
Vitality score 42.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 29 % of the 6,774 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.

Market and village life
A market is recorded here, but no source gives the day. [6]
Trajectory
Population 3,316 (2012) → 3,192 (2023): -3.7 % over 10 years. [7,1]
Population 3,126 (1990) → 3,192 (2023): 2.1 % over 30 years. [8,1]
Dwellings (2023): 1,629, of which 5 % second homes and 9 % vacant. [9]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Montsûrs): 0.1 km to the east (straight line). [10]

GP (Montsûrs): 0.4 km to the north (straight line). [10]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 44 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the ARGENTRE weather station, 8.4 km away at 107 m; the village itself is at 78 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at LAVAL-ENTRAMMES, 17.7 km away at 99 m, over 16 summers. [11]
An average of 795 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at GESNES, 2.9 km away at 85 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
250 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 110,000 € — 1,102 € per m² of built surface. [12]
19 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 100,000 € — 909 € per m². [12]
The median across Mayenne is 1,254 € 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 Montsûrs'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.
