Vitality score

Vitality score 61.9/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 96 % of the 13,344 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.

Population 1,332 (1990) → 1,175 (2023): -11.8 % over 30 years. [6,1]

Dwellings (2023): 744, of which 15.2 % second homes and 13 % vacant. [7]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

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 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 31 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the PLOURAY weather station, 16.8 km away at 205 m; the village itself is at 137 m. [9]

The village sits 68 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at PLOURAY, 16.8 km away at 205 m, over 12 summers. [9]

That station sits 68 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]

An average of 1,235 mm of rain a year, spread over 151 days — about 8.2 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at PLOERDUT, 7.9 km away at 179 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

No specific uncertainties flagged.

…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 Guémené-sur-Scorff'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.
