Vitality score

Vitality score 14.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 42 % of the 14,884 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

Days at or above 30 °C 21.6

Days at or below 0 °C 70.1

Muggy days a summer 1.3

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 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 70 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the MARCIGNY weather station, 5 km away at 250 m; the village itself is at 291 m. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at MARCIGNY, 5 km away at 250 m, over 10 summers. ^[12]

An average of 817 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at MARCIGNY, 5 km away at 250 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

What property sold for

13 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 85,000 € — 708 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

The median across Saône-et-Loire is 1,210 € 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 Bourg-le-Comte'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.
