Vitality score

Vitality score 17.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 59 % of the 14,851 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

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 69 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]

Measured at the COULANS weather station, 5.4 km away at 468 m; the village itself is at 364 m. [13]

The village sits 104 m below 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. [13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [13]

Humidity measured at COULANS, 5.4 km away at 468 m, over 18 summers. [13]

That station sits 104 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [13]

An average of 1,618 mm of rain a year, spread over 151 days — about 10.7 mm on a day it rains. [13]

Rainfall measured at VILLENEUVE-D'AMONT, 4.6 km away at 663 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [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 Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne'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.
