Vitality score

Vitality score 28/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 50 % of the 17,510 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.

An average of 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 29 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 8 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at ST-SAVIN, 9.6 km away at 90 m, over 17 summers. ^[12]

An average of 858 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at ETAULIERS, 5.4 km away at 7 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

…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 Générac'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.
