Vitality score

Vitality score 52.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 98 % of the 17,659 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 at the BELCAIRE weather station, 2.2 km away at 980 m; the village itself is at 927 m. ^[11]

The village sits 53 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 0 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at BELCAIRE, 2.2 km away at 980 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 53 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 1,002 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 8.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at BELCAIRE, 2.2 km away at 980 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
