Vitality score
Vitality score 49.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 43 % of the 5,187 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 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 58 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the AMANCEY weather station, 9.2 km away at 600 m; the village itself is at 328 m. [11]
The village sits 272 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at COULANS, 13.3 km away at 468 m, over 18 summers. [11]
That station sits 140 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 1,483 mm of rain a year, spread over 148 days — about 10 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at AMANCEY, 9.2 km away at 600 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.

…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 Ornans'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.
