Vitality score
Vitality score 56.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 93 % of the 14,324 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.

Bakery (Chemiré-le-Gaudin): 0.2 km to the north-west (straight line). [8]
Food shop (Chemiré-le-Gaudin): 0.2 km to the north-west (straight line). [8]
GP (Vallon-sur-Gée): 5.6 km to the north-west (straight line). [9]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the ROUILLON weather station, 14.1 km away at 90 m; the village itself is at 48 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at LE MANS, 15.7 km away at 51 m, over 30 summers. [11]
An average of 708 mm of rain a year, spread over 116 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at SOULIGNE FLACE, 4.7 km away at 64 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
60 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 150,000 € — 1,107 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Sarthe is 1,300 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [12]
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.
Uncertainties
No specific uncertainties flagged.

…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 Chemiré-le-Gaudin'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.
