Vitality score

Vitality score 36.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 82 % of the 18,014 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.

Measured at the MONTSEGUR-S-LAU weather station, 9.3 km away at 146 m; the village itself is at 251 m. ^[11]

The village sits 105 m above 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. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at MONTSEGUR-S-LAU, 9.3 km away at 146 m, over 28 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 105 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 972 mm of rain a year, spread over 81 days — about 12 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at AIGUEBELLE, 1.9 km away at 206 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
