Vitality score
Vitality score 9.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 26 % of the 8,292 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
An average of 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 125 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the CERNIEBAUD weather station, 6.7 km away at 966 m; the village itself is at 937 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at CHAMPAGNOLE, 13 km away at 537 m, over 26 summers. [12]
That station sits 400 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 1,780 mm of rain a year, spread over 156 days — about 11.4 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at CERNIEBAUD, 6.7 km away at 966 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 Bief-des-Maisons'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.
