Vitality score

Vitality score 14.1/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 9 % of the 17,741 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 23.1

Days at or below 0 °C 53.3

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 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 53 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the CHAILLAC weather station, 8.1 km away at 180 m; the village itself is at 251 m. ^[11]

The village sits 71 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]

An average of 870 mm of rain a year, spread over 129 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at CHAILLAC, 8.1 km away at 180 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
