Vitality score

Vitality score 49.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 43 % of the 4,982 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 3,964 (1990) → 4,632 (2023): 16.9 % over 30 years. [7,1]

Dwellings (2023): 2,452, of which 8 % second homes and 6.3 % vacant. [8]

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 46 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the BAUD weather station, 10.3 km away at 51 m; the village itself is at 122 m. [10]

The village sits 71 m above 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. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at PONTIVY, 11.9 km away at 83 m, over 22 summers. [10]

An average of 987 mm of rain a year, spread over 133 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at BAUD, 10.3 km away at 51 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

358 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 135,750 € — 1,250 € per m² of built surface. [11]

7 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 195,000 € — 778 € per m². [11]

The median across Morbihan is 2,080 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]

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 Pluméliau-Bieuzy'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.
