Vitality score

Vitality score 18.7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 51 % of the 16,695 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.
