Vitality score

Vitality score 50.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 78 % of the 11,441 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

Measured at the DOL-DE-BRETAGNE weather station, 9.4 km away at 19 m; the village itself is at 71 m. ^[11]

The village sits 52 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at DOL-DE-BRETAGNE, 9.4 km away at 19 m, over 11 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 52 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 880 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at LE-TRONCHET, 5.4 km away at 57 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
