Vitality score
Vitality score 24.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 79 % of the 15,841 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.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 29 days a year at or above 30 °C and 81 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the CALACUCCIA-GEND weather station, 2.4 km away at 875 m; the village itself is at 870 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at SPONDE-NIVOSE, 8.5 km away at 1,971 m, over 20 summers. [9]
That station sits 1,101 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 926 mm of rain a year, spread over 89 days — about 10.4 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at CALACUCCIA-GEND, 2.4 km away at 875 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 Albertacce'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.
