Vitality score

Vitality score 45.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 73 % of the 13,855 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.

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

In the commune Food shop Primary school — 0.6 km EBakery — 2.8 km EGP — 4.0 km NEPharmacy — 4.0 km W Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Laize-Clinchamps): 2.8 km to the east (straight line). ^[8]

Food shop (Amayé-sur-Orne): 0.4 km to the north-west (straight line). ^[9]

GP (Feuguerolles-Bully): 4 km to the north-east (straight line). ^[10]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 5.5

Days at or below 0 °C 30.3

Muggy days a summer 0.7

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 6 days a year at or above 30 °C and 30 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the FRESNEY LE VIEU weather station, 9.3 km away at 175 m; the village itself is at 57 m. ^[12]

The village sits 118 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at CAEN-CARPIQUET, 10.6 km away at 67 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

An average of 749 mm of rain a year, spread over 133 days — about 5.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at FONTENAY LE MAR, 6.4 km away at 58 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

…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 Amayé-sur-Orne'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.
