Vitality score

Vitality score 34.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 38 % of the 13,003 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

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 35 days a year at or above 30 °C and 58 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the VILLEMATIER weather station, 7.8 km away at 115 m; the village itself is at 234 m. [12]

The village sits 119 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. [12]

An average of 724 mm of rain a year, spread over 103 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. [12]

Rainfall measured at VILLARIES, 5.2 km away at 135 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
