Vitality score
Vitality score 76.8/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)).
Better served than 75 % of the 724 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the DREUX weather station, 2.1 km away at 133 m; the village itself is at 88 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at MARVILLE_SAPC, 9.3 km away at 153 m, over 25 summers. [9]
That station sits 65 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 559 mm of rain a year, spread over 110 days — about 5.1 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at DREUX, 2.1 km away at 133 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 Dreux'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.
