Vitality score

Vitality score 35.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 67 % of the 16,712 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

An average of 52 days a year at or above 30 °C and 11 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the BASTELICA-VILLAGE weather station, 9.8 km away at 828 m; the village itself is at 426 m. ^[11]

The village sits 402 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. ^[11]

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

Humidity measured at AJACCIO, 12.6 km away at 5 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 421 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 912 mm of rain a year, spread over 86 days — about 10.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at CAURO, 4.9 km away at 394 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
