Vitality score
Vitality score 12.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 38 % of the 12,633 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.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 5 days a year at or above 30 °C and 41 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ST CORNIER-DES-LANDES weather station, 6.4 km away at 306 m; the village itself is at 291 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at FLERS, 14.8 km away at 195 m, over 28 summers. [10]
That station sits 96 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 1,143 mm of rain a year, spread over 155 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. [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 Le Ménil-Ciboult'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.
