Vitality score
Vitality score 16.1/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 40 % of the 16,342 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.

An average of 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 113 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LEVIER_SAPC weather station, 7.1 km away at 713 m; the village itself is at 674 m. [11]

Humidity measured at COULANS, 9.4 km away at 468 m, over 18 summers. [11]
That station sits 206 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [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 Villeneuve-d'Amont'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.
