Estimated probability of at least one damaging event within 30 years, from historical catalogues: wildfires (NASA FIRMS, since 2012), earthquakes (USGS, since 1960), tsunamis (NOAA, since 1600). Being absolute, it is comparable between hazards and between countries.

1,399 1,818 €/m²

Annualised growth of this municipality’s median €/m², minus the population-weighted national average over the same window. Positive means prices here rose faster than the country as a whole — good news for an owner, bad news for a buyer. Raw appreciation rates are not comparable across borders, which is why the figure is shown relative to its own country.

Indicators (official sources)

Climate & resilience

71/100

Beach season

How long the outdoor season lasts: days at 22 °C or more, summer nights and winter mildness (Open-Meteo ERA5). High = a long outdoor season.

Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) — ERA5 · 2026-07-31

123days ≥22 °C/yr

summer nights 15 °C · winter days 11 °C

Climate comfort

Sunny but mild: sunny days, days above 30 °C and frost days (Open-Meteo ERA5). High = bright, without punishing heat or hard winters.

50

Earthquakes

Probability of at least one damaging earthquake over 30 years. Every quake in the USGS catalogue (1960 onwards) within 100 km is converted to the shaking intensity it would produce here, and only those reaching the structural-damage threshold (EMS-98 VI) count. Lower is better.

92

Tsunamis

Probability of at least one damaging tsunami over 30 years, from historical run-ups observed within 20 km (NOAA global database — e.g. the 1755 Lisbon tsunami reached A Coruña and Corcubión). An old event still counts — tsunami rates are stable over centuries — but it is divided by the centuries of record it sits in. Only measured waves above 1 m contribute. Lower is better.

Wildfires

Probability of at least one damaging wildfire within 20 km over 30 years. Estimated from the full VIIRS/NASA FIRMS archive (2012 onwards): detections are collapsed onto 375 m pixels, weighted by their radiative power, and recent seasons count for more. Lower is better.

Local vitality

75/100

Foreign residents

Share of residents with foreign nationality (each country's official population register or census — see the source below). An established international community often eases a newcomer's integration. Higher scores better.

Air connectivity

Ease of access to international airports, weighted by their importance and the straight-line distance from the municipality centre. Higher means better international connections.

Everyday essentials

How many of the four essential services (pharmacy, supermarket, school, doctor) are actually inside the municipality boundary, according to OpenStreetMap. This counts presence, not distance: a municipality with none of the four means a drive for every errand.

Price appreciation (~5 years)

Further context

Measured and published, but deliberately not part of the grade.

Residential burglary

Recorded residential burglaries per 1,000 dwellings (SSMSI, France). Not part of the grade: the statistic is only published above a threshold, so a missing figure does not mean an absence of crime.
