Vitality score

Vitality score 53.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 93 % of the 15,551 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 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the MATHAUX-ETAPE weather station, 4.5 km away at 145 m; the village itself is at 129 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at MATHAUX-ETAPE, 4.5 km away at 145 m, over 30 summers. ^[10]

An average of 819 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at ROTHIERE(LA), 1.9 km away at 136 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 Dienville'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.
