Vitality score

Vitality score 53/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)).

Better served than 57 % of the 5,310 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

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 214 days a year at or above 30 °C and 0 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the STE ANNE-SECI_CTM weather station, 1.2 km away at 22 m; the village itself is at 1 m. [11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 92 days a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at FRANCOIS-SIMON, 17.3 km away at 13 m, over 14 summers. [11]

An average of 1,537 mm of rain a year, spread over 178 days — about 8.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at STE ANNE-SECI_CTM, 1.2 km away at 22 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

Uncertainties

sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)

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 Sainte-Anne'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.
