Vitality score
Vitality score 6.7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 8 % of the 9,243 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 6 days a year at or above 30 °C and 54 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the STE SCOLASSE-SUR-SARTHE weather station, 4.4 km away at 210 m; the village itself is at 186 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at ST-HILAIRE, 9.7 km away at 242 m, over 21 summers. [11]
That station sits 56 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 779 mm of rain a year, spread over 129 days — about 6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at STE SCOLASSE-SUR-SARTHE, 4.4 km away at 210 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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 Saint-Agnan-sur-Sarthe'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.
