Vitality score

Vitality score 56.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 93 % of the 14,336 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.

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 19.3

Days at or below 0 °C 29.1

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 19 days a year at or above 30 °C and 29 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the MARANS weather station, 15.8 km away at 2 m; the village itself is at 6 m. ^[12]

An average of 836 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at RONDE (LA), 3.1 km away at 4 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
