Vitality score

Vitality score 43.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 83 % of the 16,384 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

An average of 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 50 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the STE-SEVERE weather station, 9.2 km away at 302 m; the village itself is at 369 m. ^[11]

The village sits 67 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 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at MONTGIVRAY, 13.8 km away at 204 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 165 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 888 mm of rain a year, spread over 129 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at CREVANT, 1.7 km away at 339 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
