Vitality score

Vitality score 17.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 37 % of the 17,659 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 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 76 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at TIL-CHATEL_SAPC, 3.5 km away at 283 m, over 18 summers. [10]

An average of 779 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. [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 Échevannes'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.
