Vitality score

Vitality score 23.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 69 % of the 16,802 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.

Which way the everyday services lie

Primary school — 2.4 km EBakery — 2.5 km SWPharmacy — 2.5 km SWGP — 2.6 km SWFood shop — 2.8 km SW Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 29

Days at or below 0 °C 58.3

Muggy days a summer 4.3

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 29 days a year at or above 30 °C and 58 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the PALAMINY weather station, 12.1 km away at 243 m; the village itself is at 343 m. ^[10]

The village sits 100 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 4 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at PALAMINY, 12.1 km away at 243 m, over 23 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 100 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 809 mm of rain a year, spread over 111 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at BOUSSAN, 2 km away at 287 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

…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 Montoulieu-Saint-Bernard'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.
