Vitality score

Vitality score 20.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 56 % of the 16,792 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.

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at ST QUENTIN, 8.1 km away at 98 m, over 30 summers. [11]

An average of 682 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 5.7 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 Aubigny-aux-Kaisnes'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.
