Vitality score

Vitality score 55.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 93 % of the 14,935 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

An average of 53 days a year at or above 30 °C and 23 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the SCATA weather station, 6.3 km away at 185 m; the village itself is at 285 m. ^[12]

The village sits 100 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 13 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at BASTIA, 7.6 km away at 10 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 275 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 994 mm of rain a year, spread over 65 days — about 15.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at FOLELLI, 5.9 km away at 16 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
