Vitality score

Vitality score 40.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 83 % of the 17,717 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

Measured at the SARI D'ORCINO weather station, 6.3 km away at 407 m; the village itself is at 302 m. ^[10]

The village sits 105 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.13 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at SARI D'ORCINO, 6.3 km away at 407 m, over 16 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 105 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 893 mm of rain a year, spread over 80 days — about 11.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at APPIETTO-LISTINCONE, 2.8 km away at 235 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]
