Vitality score
Vitality score 32/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 77 % of the 18,056 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 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 102 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the TURRIERS weather station, 0.3 km away at 1,020 m; the village itself is at 1,021 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at LA MOTTE DU CAIRE, 13.7 km away at 665 m, over 18 summers. [12]
That station sits 356 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 798 mm of rain a year, spread over 86 days — about 9.3 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at TURRIERS, 0.3 km away at 1,020 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

…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 Turriers'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.
