Vitality score

Vitality score 38.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 56 % of the 13,946 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 at the ROSTRENEN weather station, 8.5 km away at 236 m; the village itself is at 173 m. ^[10]

The village sits 63 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[10]

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

Humidity measured at ROSTRENEN, 8.5 km away at 236 m, over 20 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 63 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 1,098 mm of rain a year, spread over 156 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]
