Vitality score

Confidence: high.

Better served than 65 % of the 15,532 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.

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at PLEYBER-CHRIST SA, 14.9 km away at 147 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]
