Vitality score

Vitality score 42.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 50 % of the 9,972 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.

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

In the commune Primary school, GP, Pharmacy Food shop — 4.4 km SEBakery — 4.5 km E Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Guéret): 4.5 km to the east (straight line). ^[8]

Food shop (Guéret): 4.4 km to the south-east (straight line). ^[8]

GP (Saint-Sulpice-le-Guérétois): 0.2 km to the south-east (straight line). ^[9]

Pharmacy (Saint-Sulpice-le-Guérétois): 0.2 km to the south-east (straight line). ^[9]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 10.8

Days at or below 0 °C 47.4

Muggy days a summer 2.9

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 47 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the GUERET COURTIL weather station, 4.4 km away at 464 m; the village itself is at 381 m. ^[10]

The village sits 83 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °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 3 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at GUERET-GRANCHER, 5.4 km away at 546 m, over 17 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 165 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 1,015 mm of rain a year, spread over 137 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at GUERET COURTIL, 4.4 km away at 464 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 Saint-Sulpice-le-Guérétois'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.
