Vitality score

Vitality score 16.1/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 66 % of the 10,424 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.

An average of 32 days a year at or above 30 °C and 28 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 4 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at GRANES, 4.6 km away at 420 m, over 25 summers. ^[10]

An average of 702 mm of rain a year, spread over 95 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at GRANES, 4.6 km away at 420 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 Saint-Julia-de-Bec'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.
