Vitality score

Vitality score 40.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 43 % of the 10,268 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.

Humidity measured at BRIGNOGAN, 7.9 km away at 9 m, over 23 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 58 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,100 mm of rain a year, spread over 157 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]
