Vitality score

Vitality score 25/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 32 % of the 16,494 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

Days at or above 30 °C 4.2

Days at or below 0 °C 23.4

Muggy days a summer 0.5

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 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 23 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[15]

Measured at the SAINT GEORGES D weather station, 12.5 km away at 185 m; the village itself is at 133 m. ^[15]

The village sits 52 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. ^[15]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[15]

Humidity measured at CAEN-CARPIQUET, 12.7 km away at 67 m, over 30 summers. ^[15]

That station sits 66 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[15]

An average of 870 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[15]

Rainfall measured at MONTIGNY, 3.3 km away at 151 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[15]

…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 Vacognes-Neuilly'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.
