Vitality score
Vitality score 50/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 54 % of the 6,391 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.

Measured at the TOURS weather station, 6.5 km away at 108 m; the village itself is at 60 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [12]

An average of 679 mm of rain a year, spread over 109 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at TOURS, 6.5 km away at 108 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
Uncertainties
Two sources name market days with none in common. They may be separate markets in the same commune, or one may be out of date — all days are listed and none is treated as confirmed. [5,6]

…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 Vouvray'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.
