Vitality score

Vitality score 39/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 38 % of the 9,970 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 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 49 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the ST-MARTIN-D'A. weather station, 6.3 km away at 172 m; the village itself is at 154 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at ST-MARTIN-D'A., 6.3 km away at 172 m, over 17 summers. ^[10]

An average of 857 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at FUSSY, 0.3 km away at 152 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

…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 Fussy'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.
