Vitality score

Vitality score 57.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 92 % of the 13,670 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 40.7

Days at or below 0 °C 33.4

Muggy days a summer 3.4

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 41 days a year at or above 30 °C and 33 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[9]

Measured at the VALS-LES-BAINS weather station, 3.7 km away at 283 m; the village itself is at 266 m. ^[9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. ^[9]

Humidity measured at ANTRAIGUES SA, 7.3 km away at 600 m, over 27 summers. ^[9]

That station sits 334 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[9]

An average of 1,245 mm of rain a year, spread over 87 days — about 14.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[9]

Rainfall measured at VALS-LES-BAINS, 3.7 km away at 283 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[9]

…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 Lalevade-d'Ardèche'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.
