Vitality score
Vitality score 32.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 63 % of the 17,604 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 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 60 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the CREZANCY weather station, 1.3 km away at 125 m; the village itself is at 94 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at BLESMES, 4.6 km away at 222 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 128 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 759 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at CREZANCY, 1.3 km away at 125 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Fossoy'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.
