Vitality score
Vitality score 47.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 93 % of the 17,933 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
An average of 6 days a year at or above 30 °C and 72 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the PIPAY_SAPC weather station, 8.2 km away at 1,578 m; the village itself is at 930 m. [12]
The village sits 648 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [12]
An average of 1,653 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 12.3 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at LA-FERRIERE, 0 km away at 930 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
