Vitality score

Vitality score 38.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 51 % of the 13,212 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

Days at or above 30 °C 50.6▸

Days at or below 0 °C 32.8

Muggy days a summer 2.1

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 51 days a year at or above 30 °C and 33 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the ST SAUVEUR EN DIOIS weather station, 6.1 km away at 338 m; the village itself is at 223 m. ^[10]

The village sits 115 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at DIVAJEU, 8.2 km away at 175 m, over 14 summers. ^[10]

An average of 872 mm of rain a year, spread over 83 days — about 10.5 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at PIEGROS, 2.7 km away at 260 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

…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 Mirabel-et-Blacons'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.
