Vitality score
Vitality score 5.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 8 % of the 4,828 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 25 days a year at or above 30 °C and 36 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the GRANES weather station, 3.6 km away at 420 m; the village itself is at 554 m. [10]
The village sits 134 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, 3.6 km away at 420 m, over 25 summers. [10]
That station sits 134 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 702 mm of rain a year, spread over 95 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at GRANES, 3.6 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-Just-et-le-Bézu'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.
