Vitality score

Vitality score 8.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 37 % of the 3,228 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

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 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 94 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the VICDESSOS weather station, 4.6 km away at 750 m; the village itself is at 846 m. [11]

The village sits 96 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °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 ASTON, 14.2 km away at 1,781 m, over 20 summers. [11]

That station sits 935 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]

An average of 1,186 mm of rain a year, spread over 126 days — about 9.4 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at VICDESSOS, 4.6 km away at 750 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [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 Illier-et-Laramade'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.
