Vitality score

Vitality score 50.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 73 % of the 9,822 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.

Measured at the PEAUGRES RAD weather station, 3.9 km away at 480 m; the village itself is at 407 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at PEAUGRES RAD, 3.9 km away at 480 m, over 22 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 73 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 766 mm of rain a year, spread over 92 days — about 8.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]
