Vitality score
Vitality score 38.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 36 % of the 10,068 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
Where this sits nationally
An average of 33 days a year at or above 30 °C and 30 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the AUZEVILLE-TOLOSANE-INRAE weather station, 10.8 km away at 150 m; the village itself is at 203 m. [11]
The village sits 53 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at AUZEVILLE-TOLOSANE-INRAE, 10.8 km away at 150 m, over 22 summers. [11]
That station sits 53 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 692 mm of rain a year, spread over 102 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at BALMA, 6.8 km away at 139 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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 Mons'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.
