Vitality score
Vitality score 64.4/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)).
Better served than 90 % of the 4,993 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 218 days a year at or above 30 °C and 0 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the GRAND-BOURG LES BASSES AERO weather station, 5 km away at 10 m; the village itself is at 2 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 91 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at GRAND-BOURG LES BASSES AERO, 5 km away at 10 m, over 17 summers. [9]
An average of 1,309 mm of rain a year, spread over 167 days — about 7.8 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at GRAND-BOURG GENDARMERIE, 0.3 km away at 9 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
78 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 277,000 € — 2,863 € per m² of built surface. [10]
11 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 140,000 € — 1,818 € per m². [10]
The median across Guadeloupe is 2,688 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [10]
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 Grand-Bourg'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.
