Vitality score

Vitality score 51.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 98 % of the 17,933 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.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 4.6

Days at or below 0 °C 21

Muggy days a summer 2.6

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 21 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the LARMOR-BADEN weather station, 6.7 km away at 15 m; the village itself is at 14 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at VANNES-SENE, 6.8 km away at 3 m, over 26 summers. ^[10]

An average of 841 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at ARRADON, 3.6 km away at 26 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

…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 Île-d'Arz'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.
