Vitality score

Vitality score 52/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 94 % of the 17,156 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.

An average of 34 days a year at or above 30 °C and 52 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the PALAMINY weather station, 19.4 km away at 243 m; the village itself is at 281 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at PALAMINY, 19.4 km away at 243 m, over 23 summers. ^[10]

An average of 737 mm of rain a year, spread over 102 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at LAPEYRERE, 9.1 km away at 347 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

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 Montbrun-Bocage'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.
