Vitality score

Vitality score 22.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 83 % of the 12,501 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

Days at or above 30 °C 7.1

Days at or below 0 °C 53.9

Muggy days a summer 0

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 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 54 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the ST MARTIN D'ENTRAUNES_SAPC weather station, 3.7 km away at 1,642 m; the village itself is at 1,255 m. ^[10]

The village sits 387 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 0 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at PEONE, 17.6 km away at 1,784 m, over 22 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 529 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 1,197 mm of rain a year, spread over 100 days — about 12 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at ST MARTIN D'ENTRAUNES_SAPC, 3.7 km away at 1,642 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.

…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 Entraunes'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.
