Vitality score

Vitality score 9.1/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 10 % of the 15,268 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 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 115 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the ST FIRMIN weather station, 5.2 km away at 935 m; the village itself is at 922 m. [10]

An average of 1,107 mm of rain a year, spread over 98 days — about 11.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at ST FIRMIN, 5.2 km away at 935 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
