Vitality score

Vitality score 59/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 89 % of the 7,946 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 but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

An average of 2 days a year at or above 30 °C and 13 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the POMMERIT-JAUDY weather station, 1.1 km away at 55 m; the village itself is at 25 m. [11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at POMMERIT-JAUDY, 1.1 km away at 55 m, over 20 summers. [11]

An average of 892 mm of rain a year, spread over 143 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. [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 La Roche-Jaudy'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.
