Vitality score

Vitality score 21.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 69 % of the 15,296 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

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 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 61 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the LOMONT weather station, 1.1 km away at 820 m; the village itself is at 569 m. [12]

The village sits 251 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. [12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [12]

Humidity measured at SANCEY-LE-GRAND, 6.1 km away at 490 m, over 20 summers. [12]

That station sits 79 m below 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 1,293 mm of rain a year, spread over 147 days — about 8.8 mm on a day it rains. [12]

Rainfall measured at LOMONT, 1.1 km away at 820 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 Vyt-lès-Belvoir'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.
