Vitality score
Vitality score 31/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 67 % of the 17,961 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 35 days a year at or above 30 °C and 38 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MIRANDE weather station, 5.4 km away at 184 m; the village itself is at 162 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at MASSEUBE, 14.1 km away at 217 m, over 10 summers. [10]
That station sits 55 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 811 mm of rain a year, spread over 114 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at MIRANDE, 5.4 km away at 184 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 Berdoues'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.
