Vitality score
Vitality score 17.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 62 % of the 14,120 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 25 days a year at or above 30 °C and 6 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LEVENS_RESERVOIRS weather station, 4 km away at 668 m; the village itself is at 431 m. [10]
The village sits 237 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.21 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at LEVENS_RESERVOIRS, 4 km away at 668 m, over 13 summers. [10]
That station sits 237 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 835 mm of rain a year, spread over 66 days — about 12.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LEVENS_RESERVOIRS, 4 km away at 668 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 Duranus'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.
