Vitality score
Vitality score 52.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 49 % of the 4,507 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 53 days a year at or above 30 °C and 11 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the PLAN D'AUPS - STE BAUME_SAPC weather station, 5.6 km away at 605 m; the village itself is at 391 m. [11]
The village sits 214 m below 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at ST MAXIMIN LA STE BAUME, 12.8 km away at 294 m, over 19 summers. [11]
That station sits 97 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 961 mm of rain a year, spread over 68 days — about 14.1 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at PLAN D'AUPS - STE BAUME_SAPC, 5.6 km away at 605 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
304 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 385,000 € — 2,476 € per m² of built surface. [12]
76 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 161,500 € — 2,733 € per m². [12]
The median across Var is 3,286 € 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.

…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 Nans-les-Pins'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.
