Vitality score

Vitality score 38.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 38 % of the 10,199 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.

Bakery (Tresques): 0.2 km to the north-west (straight line). [8]

Food shop (Tresques): 0.1 km to the north-west (straight line). [8]

GP (Connaux): 1.7 km to the south (straight line). [9]

Primary school (Tresques): 0.1 km to the south-east (straight line). [8]

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 36 days a year at or above 30 °C and 15 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the SABRAN weather station, 3.5 km away at 204 m; the village itself is at 77 m. [11]

The village sits 127 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. [11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. [11]

Humidity measured at CHUSCLAN, 10.1 km away at 30 m, over 26 summers. [11]

An average of 827 mm of rain a year, spread over 70 days — about 11.8 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at TRESQUES, 2.1 km away at 79 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

Uncertainties

No specific uncertainties flagged.

…and in much the same climate

The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Tresques's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
