Vitality score

Vitality score 34/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 57 % of the 16,103 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.

Muggy days a summer 5.7

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 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 29 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the CURSAN weather station, 7.1 km away at 94 m; the village itself is at 59 m. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 6 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at ST EMILION, 14.4 km away at 38 m, over 19 summers. ^[12]

An average of 851 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at CURSAN, 7.1 km away at 94 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

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 Espiet'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.
