Vitality score

Vitality score 37.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 82 % of the 17,909 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 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 91 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the POULIGNEY weather station, 4.7 km away at 286 m; the village itself is at 265 m. [11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at BESANCON, 19.1 km away at 306 m, over 30 summers. [11]

An average of 1,221 mm of rain a year, spread over 146 days — about 8.4 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at POULIGNEY, 4.7 km away at 286 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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 Laissey'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.
