Vitality score
Vitality score 53.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 61 % of the 5,667 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.

Which way the everyday services lie

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 74 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the LE FIED_SAPC weather station, 7.4 km away at 522 m; the village itself is at 322 m. [12]
The village sits 200 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °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 2 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at ARBOIS_SAPC, 7.5 km away at 313 m, over 21 summers. [12]
An average of 1,456 mm of rain a year, spread over 142 days — about 10.3 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at LE FIED_SAPC, 7.4 km away at 522 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 Poligny'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.
