Vitality score

Vitality score 54.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 81 % of the 8,745 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

Market day: unknown — nothing found in the datasets or on the commune website.

Trajectory

1968: 1,231 2023: 2,296 axis from zero, so the slope compares with any other commune

Population 2,258 (2012) → 2,296 (2023): 1.7 % over 10 years. ^[5,1]

Population 1,659 (1990) → 2,296 (2023): 38.4 % over 30 years. ^[6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 1,072, of which 2.4 % second homes and 9.5 % vacant. ^[7]

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

In the commune Food shop, Primary school, GP Bakery — 4.6 km NWPharmacy — 6.7 km N Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Moustoir-Ac): 4.6 km to the north-west (straight line). ^[8]

Food shop (Colpo): 0.2 km to the east (straight line). ^[9]

GP (Colpo): 0.2 km to the south-east (straight line). ^[9]

Pharmacy (Locminé): 6.7 km to the north (straight line). ^[10]

Primary school (Colpo): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). ^[9]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 5.3

Days at or below 0 °C 30.9

Muggy days a summer 0.9

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 5 days a year at or above 30 °C and 31 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the BIGNAN weather station, 9.6 km away at 112 m; the village itself is at 104 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at BIGNAN, 9.6 km away at 112 m, over 28 summers. ^[11]

An average of 1,106 mm of rain a year, spread over 137 days — about 8.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at GRAND-CHAMP, 7 km away at 118 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

111 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 230,000 € — 1,468 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

7 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 85,000 € — 1,833 € per m². ^[12]

The median across Morbihan is 2,080 € 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 Colpo'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.
