Vitality score

Vitality score 60.2/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 79 % of the 4,796 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.

An average of 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the PRE-ST-EVROULT weather station, 6.1 km away at 129 m; the village itself is at 123 m. [11]

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

Humidity measured at PRE-ST-EVROULT, 6.1 km away at 129 m, over 24 summers. [11]

An average of 666 mm of rain a year, spread over 115 days — about 5.8 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at BONNEVAL, 0.4 km away at 133 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [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 Bonneval'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.
