Vitality score
Vitality score 63.2/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 96 % of the 8,772 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 50 days a year at or above 30 °C and 47 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MEOUNES LES MONTRIEUX_SAPC weather station, 2.7 km away at 309 m; the village itself is at 279 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at CUERS, 13.6 km away at 72 m, over 23 summers. [10]
That station sits 207 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 1,121 mm of rain a year, spread over 70 days — about 16 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at MEOUNES LES MONTRIEUX_SAPC, 2.7 km away at 309 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
144 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 350,254 € — 1,892 € per m² of built surface. [11]
22 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 154,500 € — 1,756 € per m². [11]
The median across Var is 3,286 € 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 Méounes-lès-Montrieux'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.
