Vitality score

Vitality score 52.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 73 % of the 8,053 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 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 42 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[9]

Measured at the CHAUNY weather station, 11 km away at 83 m; the village itself is at 55 m. ^[9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[9]

Humidity measured at CHAUNY, 11 km away at 83 m, over 29 summers. ^[9]

An average of 708 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 5.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[9]

Rainfall measured at TERGNIER, 1.9 km away at 59 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[9]

…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 Beautor'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.
