Vitality score

Vitality score 56.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 86 % of the 8,765 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.

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

2.5 km5 kmGP — 0.5 km NE (Lanta)

Bakery (Lanta): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). [9]

Food shop (Lanta): 0.2 km to the north (straight line). [9]

GP (Lanta): 0.5 km to the north-east (straight line). [9]

Primary school (Lanta): 0.4 km to the north-east (straight line). [9]

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 37 days a year at or above 30 °C and 38 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the SEGREVILLE weather station, 10.3 km away at 212 m; the village itself is at 242 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 6 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at AUZEVILLE-TOLOSANE-INRAE, 12.6 km away at 150 m, over 22 summers. [10]

That station sits 92 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 695 mm of rain a year, spread over 98 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at LANTA, 1.5 km away at 212 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

Uncertainties

The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.

…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 Lanta'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.
