Confidence: high.

Better served than 32 % of the 6,003 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.

Measured at the ALISTRO weather station, 10.8 km away at 65 m; the village itself is at 523 m. ^[12]

The village sits 458 m above 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. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 14 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at ALISTRO, 10.8 km away at 65 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 458 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 1,068 mm of rain a year, spread over 84 days — about 12.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at MATRA, 1.7 km away at 575 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
