Vitality score

Vitality score 37.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 83 % of the 18,000 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 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 34 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 4 days a summer. ^[13]

Humidity measured at BORREZE SA, 13.5 km away at 335 m, over 10 summers. ^[13]

An average of 904 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

…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 Dornac'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.
