Vitality score
Vitality score 42.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 68 % of the 13,877 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 26 days a year at or above 30 °C and 65 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MONTPONT weather station, 1.6 km away at 205 m; the village itself is at 199 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 4 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at VARENNES-ST-SA, 7.6 km away at 207 m, over 23 summers. [10]
An average of 1,028 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 8 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at MONTPONT, 1.6 km away at 205 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
90 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 130,750 € — 1,098 € per m² of built surface. [11]
6 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 128,750 € — 867 € per m². [11]
The median across Saône-et-Loire is 1,210 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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 Montpont-en-Bresse'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.
