Vitality score

Vitality score 57.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 87 % of the 8,472 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.

Market and village life

In the commune Food shop, Primary school, GP, Pharmacy Bakery — 0.6 km S Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Évenos): 0.6 km to the south (straight line). [9]

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 49 days a year at or above 30 °C and 35 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the LE CASTELLET_SAPC weather station, 4.9 km away at 66 m; the village itself is at 144 m. [10]

The village sits 78 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.21 °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 17 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at TOULON, 8.6 km away at 3 m, over 30 summers. [10]

That station sits 141 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]

An average of 590 mm of rain a year, spread over 55 days — about 10.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at LE CASTELLET_SAPC, 4.9 km away at 66 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

104 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 398,625 € — 3,594 € per m² of built surface. [11]

29 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 210,000 € — 3,253 € per m². [11]

The median across Var is 3,286 € 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.

Uncertainties

The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Évenos'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.
