Vitality score

Vitality score 53/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 81 % of the 10,383 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.

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 12 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at OLETTA, 1.3 km away at 130 m, over 11 summers. ^[11]
