Vitality score
Vitality score 38.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 93 % of the 17,348 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
An average of 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 61 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the BAIGNEUX LES JUIFS weather station, 9.7 km away at 415 m; the village itself is at 329 m. [11]
The village sits 86 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at BAIGNEUX LES JUIFS, 9.7 km away at 415 m, over 12 summers. [11]
That station sits 86 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 995 mm of rain a year, spread over 140 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at MEULSON, 3.6 km away at 401 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 Aignay-le-Duc'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.
