Vitality score
Vitality score 49.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 91 % of the 16,750 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 43 days a year at or above 30 °C and 3 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the CAGNANO_OBS weather station, 3.5 km away at 190 m; the village itself is at 154 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 31 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at CAP CORSE, 18.4 km away at 72 m, over 28 summers. [10]
That station sits 82 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 1,155 mm of rain a year, spread over 74 days — about 15.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at CAGNANO_OBS, 3.5 km away at 190 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
