Vitality score
Vitality score 47.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)).
Better served than 69 % of the 11,365 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 25 days a year at or above 30 °C and 82 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the ORGELET weather station, 0.5 km away at 493 m; the village itself is at 516 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at CHAUX-DES-PRES-INRAE, 19.4 km away at 854 m, over 10 summers. [9]
That station sits 338 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 1,432 mm of rain a year, spread over 145 days — about 9.9 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at ORGELET, 0.5 km away at 493 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

…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 Orgelet'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.
