Vitality score
Vitality score 15.3/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 79 % of the 4,658 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
An average of 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 33 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the GRANES weather station, 11.3 km away at 420 m; the village itself is at 505 m. [10]
The village sits 85 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. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at GRANES, 11.3 km away at 420 m, over 25 summers. [10]
That station sits 85 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 850 mm of rain a year, spread over 104 days — about 8.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at AXAT-GARE, 3 km away at 415 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 Cailla'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.
