Vitality score

Vitality score 28.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 41 % of the 16,292 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 34.8

Days at or below 0 °C 81

Muggy days a summer 3.2

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 35 days a year at or above 30 °C and 81 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the PONT-DE-BEAUVOISIN weather station, 6 km away at 284 m; the village itself is at 336 m. ^[12]

The village sits 52 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. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at COUBLEVIE, 15.2 km away at 300 m, over 19 summers. ^[12]

An average of 1,156 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 9.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at PONT-DE-BEAUVOISIN, 6 km away at 284 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

…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 Saint-Bueil'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.
