Vitality score

Vitality score 57.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 89 % of the 10,697 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 36 days a year at or above 30 °C and 16 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the SABRAN weather station, 5.1 km away at 204 m; the village itself is at 82 m. ^[10]

The village sits 122 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 8 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at CHUSCLAN, 10.2 km away at 30 m, over 26 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 52 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 827 mm of rain a year, spread over 70 days — about 11.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at TRESQUES, 3.4 km away at 79 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]
