Vitality score

Vitality score 32.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 76 % of the 18,032 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 32.3

Days at or below 0 °C 12.5▸

Muggy days a summer 14.9▸

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 32 days a year at or above 30 °C and 13 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the ALAIGNE weather station, 7 km away at 293 m; the village itself is at 197 m. ^[11]

The village sits 96 m below 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. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 15 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at ALAIGNE, 7 km away at 293 m, over 24 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 96 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 719 mm of rain a year, spread over 98 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at MONTCLAR, 5.5 km away at 220 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.

…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 Malviès'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.
