Vitality score

Vitality score 52.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 72 % of the 7,964 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 22.6

Days at or below 0 °C 77.5

Muggy days a summer 1.5

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 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 78 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the ST AUPRE_SAPC weather station, 1.8 km away at 450 m; the village itself is at 452 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at COUBLEVIE, 4.7 km away at 300 m, over 19 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 152 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,381 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 11.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at ST AUPRE_SAPC, 1.8 km away at 450 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

…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-Étienne-de-Crossey'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.
