Vitality score
Vitality score 9.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 18 % of the 12,401 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 26 days a year at or above 30 °C and 21 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the FAUGERES weather station, 0.1 km away at 439 m; the village itself is at 455 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at LES VANS-SA, 6.8 km away at 140 m, over 11 summers. [12]
That station sits 315 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 1,432 mm of rain a year, spread over 87 days — about 16.5 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at FAUGERES, 0.1 km away at 439 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 Faugères'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.
