Vitality score

Vitality score 29.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 70 % of the 18,048 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 at the BELVES weather station, 12.4 km away at 238 m; the village itself is at 48 m. ^[12]

The village sits 190 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. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at BELVES, 12.4 km away at 238 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 190 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 828 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at LE BUISSON CADO, 4.6 km away at 69 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
