Vitality score
Vitality score 7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 13 % of the 7,049 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 58 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the SAINT-LOUP_SAPC weather station, 2.5 km away at 440 m; the village itself is at 393 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at AHUN LYCEE, 16.7 km away at 460 m, over 21 summers. [10]
That station sits 67 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 799 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at SAINT-LOUP_SAPC, 2.5 km away at 440 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [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 Pierrefitte'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.
