Vitality score
Vitality score 77.2/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 84 % of the 922 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.

Trajectory
Population 22,388 (2012) → 25,551 (2023): 14.1 % over 10 years. [5,1]
Population 14,695 (1990) → 25,551 (2023): 73.9 % over 30 years. [6,1]
Dwellings (2023): 10,291, of which 0.8 % second homes and 5.8 % vacant. [7]
Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Sainte-Suzanne): 0.2 km to the south-east (straight line). [8]
Food shop (Sainte-Suzanne): 0.2 km to the west (straight line). [8]
GP (Sainte-Suzanne): 0.1 km to the south (straight line). [8]
Pharmacy (Sainte-Suzanne): 0.8 km to the west (straight line). [8]
Primary school (Sainte-Suzanne): 0.1 km to the west (straight line). [8]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 104 days a year at or above 30 °C and 0 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the BAGATELLE_SAPC weather station, 4.3 km away at 262 m; the village itself is at 3 m. [9]
The village sits 259 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.9 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 87 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at GILLOT-AEROPORT, 8.3 km away at 8 m, over 30 summers. [9]
An average of 1,992 mm of rain a year, spread over 150 days — about 13.3 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at GRAND-HAZIER - CIRAD, 2.3 km away at 69 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
274 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 220,000 € — 2,266 € per m² of built surface. [10]
95 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 124,200 € — 2,121 € per m². [10]
The median across La Réunion is 2,542 € per m², so this commune sits below 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 Sainte-Suzanne'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.
