Vitality score

Confidence: high.

Better served than 54 % of the 14,730 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.

Climate

Measured at the LABERGEMENT weather station, 6.9 km away at 863 m; the village itself is at 994 m. ^[10]

The village sits 131 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at MOROND, 8.3 km away at 1,423 m, over 11 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 429 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 1,482 mm of rain a year, spread over 146 days — about 10.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at LABERGEMENT, 6.9 km away at 863 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]
