Vitality score

Vitality score 46.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 29 % of the 4,857 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.

An average of 46 days a year at or above 30 °C and 67 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the LOYETTES weather station, 13.6 km away at 198 m; the village itself is at 199 m. [11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at BALAN_AERO, 3.1 km away at 196 m, over 10 summers. [11]

An average of 908 mm of rain a year, spread over 111 days — about 8.2 mm on a day it rains. [11]

…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 Dagneux'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.
