Vitality score

Vitality score 32/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 40 % of the 14,570 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.

Which way the everyday services lie

Primary school — 2.7 km SGP — 3.0 km SBakery — 3.8 km NEFood shop — 5.2 km NWPharmacy — 5.5 km NW Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Boussières): 3.8 km to the north-east (straight line). ^[9]

Food shop (Saint-Vit): 5.2 km to the north-west (straight line). ^[10]

GP (Byans-sur-Doubs): 3 km to the south (straight line). ^[11]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 19.3

Days at or below 0 °C 67

Muggy days a summer 1.7

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 19 days a year at or above 30 °C and 67 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the DANNEMARIE-SUR- weather station, 6.7 km away at 267 m; the village itself is at 224 m. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at BESANCON, 15.5 km away at 306 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 82 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 1,057 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 8.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at DANNEMARIE-SUR-, 6.7 km away at 267 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

…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 Osselle-Routelle'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.
