Vitality score

Vitality score 53.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 90 % of the 14,497 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 14.8

Days at or below 0 °C 52.4

Muggy days a summer 0.7

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 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 52 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the PREAUX SA weather station, 4.5 km away at 525 m; the village itself is at 609 m. ^[10]

The village sits 84 m above 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. ^[10]

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

Humidity measured at PREAUX SA, 4.5 km away at 525 m, over 26 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 84 m below 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 870 mm of rain a year, spread over 102 days — about 8.5 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at ST-VICTOR, 1.3 km away at 557 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

…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 Saint-Victor'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.
