Vitality score

Vitality score 41.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 66 % of the 14,330 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 30 days a year at or above 30 °C and 45 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[13]

Measured at the REVENTIN weather station, 13.7 km away at 295 m; the village itself is at 402 m. ^[13]

The village sits 107 m above 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. ^[13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[13]

Humidity measured at REVENTIN, 13.7 km away at 295 m, over 21 summers. ^[13]

That station sits 107 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[13]

An average of 908 mm of rain a year, spread over 103 days — about 8.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at BEAUREPAIRE, 10.1 km away at 288 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]
