Vitality score
Vitality score 35.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 69 % of the 16,981 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
An average of 5 days a year at or above 30 °C and 26 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the GUISCRIFF weather station, 5.1 km away at 180 m; the village itself is at 164 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at PLOURAY, 10.4 km away at 205 m, over 12 summers. [12]
An average of 1,364 mm of rain a year, spread over 146 days — about 9.3 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at GUISCRIFF, 5.1 km away at 180 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
80 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 96,500 € — 857 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Morbihan is 2,080 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [13]
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 Le Saint'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.
