Vitality score

Vitality score 44.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 53 % of the 9,095 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.

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. ^[11]

Measured at the MARANS weather station, 9.4 km away at 2 m; the village itself is at 11 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 5 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at LA ROCHELLE-ILE DE RE, 11.9 km away at 20 m, over 25 summers. ^[11]

An average of 741 mm of rain a year, spread over 115 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at MARANS, 9.4 km away at 2 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 Villedoux'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.
