Vitality score

Vitality score 30.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 62 % of the 17,931 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

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 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 106 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the CHATEAUNEUF-LES weather station, 4.4 km away at 390 m; the village itself is at 660 m. [10]

The village sits 270 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °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 0 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at ST-GERVAIS-D AU, 10.8 km away at 705 m, over 30 summers. [10]

An average of 859 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at CHATEAUNEUF-LES, 4.4 km away at 390 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

24 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 77,150 € — 778 € per m² of built surface. [11]

The median across Puy-de-Dôme is 1,487 € 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 Saint-Angel'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.
