Vitality score

Vitality score 56.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)).

Better served than 72 % of the 5,628 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.

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

2.5 km5 kmGP — 1.0 km S (Gravigny)
In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, Pharmacy GP — 1.0 km S Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Gravigny): 0.1 km to the north-east (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Gravigny): 0.1 km to the east (straight line). [8]

GP (Gravigny): 1 km to the south (straight line). [8]

Pharmacy (Gravigny): 0.1 km to the east (straight line). [8]

Primary school (Gravigny): 0.3 km to the south-west (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 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the EVREUX VILLE weather station, 2.9 km away at 65 m; the village itself is at 56 m. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at EVREUX-HUEST, 5 km away at 138 m, over 30 summers. [9]

That station sits 82 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]

An average of 617 mm of rain a year, spread over 114 days — about 5.4 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at EVREUX VILLE, 2.9 km away at 65 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

…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 Gravigny'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.
