Vitality score

Vitality score 63.9/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 96 % of the 9,654 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.

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at MONTSEGUR-S-LAU, 10 km away at 146 m, over 28 summers. [11]

An average of 781 mm of rain a year, spread over 72 days — about 10.8 mm on a day it rains. [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 Tulette'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.
