Vitality score

Vitality score 33.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 78 % of the 18,024 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

Days at or above 30 °C 28.5

Days at or below 0 °C 52.1

Muggy days a summer 6.7

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 52 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the BLAJAN weather station, 9.7 km away at 325 m; the village itself is at 345 m. ^[10]

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

Humidity measured at CLARAC, 13.9 km away at 401 m, over 30 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 56 m above 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 901 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at ST-MARCET, 1.6 km away at 348 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 Saint-Marcet'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.
