Vitality score

Vitality score 51.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 87 % of the 14,380 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.

Measured at the LA ROUVIERE weather station, 8.2 km away at 79 m; the village itself is at 82 m. ^[13]

Humidity measured at DEAUX, 9.2 km away at 185 m, over 30 summers. ^[13]

That station sits 103 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[13]

An average of 891 mm of rain a year, spread over 67 days — about 13.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at LA ROUVIERE, 8.2 km away at 79 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]
