Vitality score

Vitality score 59/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 79 % of the 5,601 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.

Food shop (Bourg-Achard): 0.1 km to the north-west (straight line). [8]

GP (Bourg-Achard): 0.4 km to the south (straight line). [8]

Primary school (Bourg-Achard): 0.2 km to the south (straight line). [8]

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 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 53 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the BRIONNE weather station, 19.7 km away at 59 m; the village itself is at 137 m. [9]

The village sits 78 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]

An average of 846 mm of rain a year, spread over 138 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at ROUTOT, 6.7 km away at 136 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
