Vitality score

Vitality score 20.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 55 % of the 17,194 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 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 77 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the FOS weather station, 5.5 km away at 544 m; the village itself is at 708 m. ^[10]

The village sits 164 m above 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 1 day a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at LUCHON, 16 km away at 618 m, over 30 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 90 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 1,123 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 9.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at FOS, 5.5 km away at 544 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]
