Vitality score
Vitality score 9.1/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 19 % of the 10,519 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.

Measured at the DIJON TOISON weather station, 13.6 km away at 270 m; the village itself is at 557 m. [12]
The village sits 287 m above 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. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at ST-MARTIN-DU-M, 15.5 km away at 578 m, over 30 summers. [12]
An average of 924 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 6.9 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 Saussy'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.
