Vitality score

Vitality score 56.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 86 % of the 8,859 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.

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, Pharmacy GP — 2.7 km N Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Vézeronce-Curtin): 0.1 km to the west (straight line). ^[9]

Food shop (Vézeronce-Curtin): 0.1 km to the south-west (straight line). ^[9]

GP (Morestel): 2.7 km to the north (straight line). ^[10]

Pharmacy (Vézeronce-Curtin): 0.1 km to the south-west (straight line). ^[9]

Primary school (Vézeronce-Curtin): 0.1 km to the north-east (straight line). ^[9]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 29.7

Days at or below 0 °C 72.6

Muggy days a summer 2.9

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 30 days a year at or above 30 °C and 73 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the CESSIEU weather station, 11.1 km away at 304 m; the village itself is at 225 m. ^[11]

The village sits 79 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. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at BOURGOIN, 13.5 km away at 358 m, over 20 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 133 m above 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 1,117 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 9.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at FAVERGES, 7.7 km away at 367 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 Vézeronce-Curtin'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.
