Vitality score

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

Confidence: high.

Better served than 59 % of the 14,926 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

Days at or above 30 °C 18.9

Days at or below 0 °C 47.5

Muggy days a summer 2.6

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 19 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the CUNFIN_SAPC weather station, 12.4 km away at 315 m; the village itself is at 205 m. ^[12]

The village sits 110 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. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at AILLEVILLE_SAPC, 16.8 km away at 195 m, over 19 summers. ^[12]

An average of 933 mm of rain a year, spread over 136 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at LONGCHAMP-SUR-A, 4.5 km away at 202 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

…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 Ville-sous-la-Ferté'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.
