Vitality score
Vitality score 46.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 72 % of the 12,819 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 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 38 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LA COQUILLE weather station, 0.6 km away at 324 m; the village itself is at 339 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at ST MARTIN DE FRESSENGEAS, 12.3 km away at 277 m, over 19 summers. [11]
That station sits 62 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 1,162 mm of rain a year, spread over 139 days — about 8.4 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at LA COQUILLE, 0.6 km away at 324 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.

…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 Coquille'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.
