Vitality score

Vitality score 26.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 79 % of the 16,663 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.

An average of 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 70 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

An average of 693 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 5.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at MERY-SUR-SEINE, 8.5 km away at 81 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
