Vitality score
Vitality score 10.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 19 % of the 15,296 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 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 68 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the BRANNE_SAPC weather station, 0.2 km away at 287 m; the village itself is at 282 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at SANCEY-LE-GRAND, 11.8 km away at 490 m, over 20 summers. [9]
That station sits 208 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 1,127 mm of rain a year, spread over 136 days — about 8.3 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at BRANNE_SAPC, 0.2 km away at 287 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

…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 Branne'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.
