Vitality score

Vitality score 25.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 33 % of the 16,628 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.

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 31.7

Days at or below 0 °C 62.8

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 32 days a year at or above 30 °C and 63 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the SAINT JULIEN SUR REYSSOUZE weather station, 14.4 km away at 189 m; the village itself is at 196 m. ^[12]

An average of 945 mm of rain a year, spread over 116 days — about 8.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at GORREVOD, 9.3 km away at 188 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
