Vitality score

Vitality score 25.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 39 % of the 17,244 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 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 56 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

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

Humidity measured at DUN-SUR-AURON, 8 km away at 167 m, over 15 summers. ^[11]

An average of 806 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at ST-JUST, 7.1 km away at 143 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 Vornay'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.
