Vitality score

Vitality score 37.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 82 % of the 17,991 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.

Climate

Measured at the COLOMBE-LA-FOSSE-CIVC weather station, 13.1 km away at 252 m; the village itself is at 140 m. ^[11]

The village sits 112 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °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 3 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at AILLEVILLE_SAPC, 13.9 km away at 195 m, over 19 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 55 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 840 mm of rain a year, spread over 132 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at VILLE-SUR-TERRE, 5 km away at 202 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
