Vitality score
Vitality score 29.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 82 % of the 17,149 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 25 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the ST GATIEN DES B weather station, 4.6 km away at 139 m; the village itself is at 44 m. [11]
The village sits 95 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at ST GATIEN DES B, 4.6 km away at 139 m, over 30 summers. [11]
That station sits 95 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 914 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at ST GATIEN DES B, 4.6 km away at 139 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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 Cricquebœuf'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.
