Vitality score

Vitality score 36.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 81 % of the 17,978 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 28 days a year at or above 30 °C and 21 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the FORET_VIZZAVONA weather station, 6.2 km away at 986 m; the village itself is at 640 m. ^[11]

The village sits 346 m below 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 3 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at BOCOGNANO, 9.4 km away at 1,019 m, over 16 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 379 m above 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 1,675 mm of rain a year, spread over 82 days — about 20.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at FORET_VIZZAVONA, 6.2 km away at 986 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
