Vitality score
Vitality score 0.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 0 % of the 12,207 communes of a similar size.

Where this sits nationally

Measured at the MAZAN ABBAYE RAD weather station, 0.8 km away at 1,240 m; the village itself is at 1,122 m. [11]
The village sits 118 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at MAZAN ABBAYE RAD, 0.8 km away at 1,240 m, over 22 summers. [11]
That station sits 118 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 1,292 mm of rain a year, spread over 111 days — about 11.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]

…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 Mazan-l'Abbaye'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.
