Vitality score

Vitality score 35.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 73 % of the 17,568 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

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 25 days a year at or above 30 °C and 71 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [12]

Humidity measured at SAVIGNY LES BEA, 13.4 km away at 246 m, over 28 summers. [12]

An average of 812 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [12]

…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 Argilly'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.
