Vitality score

Vitality score 17.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 75 % of the 10,792 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.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 42 days a year at or above 30 °C and 32 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the SCATA weather station, 8.1 km away at 185 m; the village itself is at 427 m. [11]

The village sits 242 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. [11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 20 days a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at ALISTRO, 13.8 km away at 65 m, over 30 summers. [11]

That station sits 362 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]

An average of 1,148 mm of rain a year, spread over 86 days — about 13.3 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at FELCE, 5.6 km away at 810 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
