Vitality score

Vitality score 60/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 96 % of the 14,205 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 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 25 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the PIERREFITTE CIN_SAPC weather station, 2.7 km away at 187 m; the village itself is at 61 m. [9]

The village sits 126 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. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at DAMBLAINVILLE, 20 km away at 155 m, over 28 summers. [9]

That station sits 94 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]

An average of 806 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 6 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at PIERREFITTE CIN_SAPC, 2.7 km away at 187 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

…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 Pont-d'Ouilly'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.
