Vitality score
Vitality score 12/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 14 % of the 17,889 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 5 days a year at or above 30 °C and 81 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the GIRON weather station, 2.5 km away at 1,009 m; the village itself is at 862 m. [12]
The village sits 147 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at ARBENT, 8.8 km away at 534 m, over 20 summers. [12]
That station sits 328 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 1,658 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 11.8 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at GIRON, 2.5 km away at 1,009 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

…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 Belleydoux'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.
