Vitality score

Vitality score 32.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 42 % of the 14,521 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 VILLEFRANCHE-DE-ROUERGUE weather station, 6.8 km away at 330 m; the village itself is at 462 m. ^[13]

The village sits 132 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. ^[13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[13]

Humidity measured at VILLEFRANCHE-DE-ROUERGUE, 6.8 km away at 330 m, over 30 summers. ^[13]

That station sits 132 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[13]

An average of 1,008 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 8.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at LANUEJOULS, 6.7 km away at 511 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]
