Vitality score

Vitality score 74.2/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 65 % of the 676 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

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 54 days a year at or above 30 °C and 20 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the MARIGNANE weather station, 2.2 km away at 6 m; the village itself is at 11 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 8 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at MARIGNANE, 2.2 km away at 6 m, over 30 summers. [10]

An average of 522 mm of rain a year, spread over 53 days — about 9.8 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at MARIGNANE, 2.2 km away at 6 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

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 Marignane'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.
