Vitality score
Vitality score 60.3/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 81 % of the 5,202 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
Where this sits nationally
An average of 56 days a year at or above 30 °C and 9 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ISOLACCIO DI FIUMORBO weather station, 8.6 km away at 198 m; the village itself is at 17 m. [10]
The village sits 181 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 26 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at SOLENZARA, 10.6 km away at 12 m, over 30 summers. [10]
An average of 1,292 mm of rain a year, spread over 90 days — about 14.4 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ISOLACCIO DI FIUMORBO, 8.6 km away at 198 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…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 Ghisonaccia'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.
