Vitality score

Vitality score 49.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 74 % of the 11,223 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

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 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the AUDIGNY weather station, 11.9 km away at 150 m; the village itself is at 76 m. [10]

The village sits 74 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]

An average of 740 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 5.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at ORIGNY-STE-BENO, 0.6 km away at 75 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
