Vitality score

Vitality score 25.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 68 % of the 17,646 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 30.1

Days at or below 0 °C 39.1

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 39 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the AMOU LATEOULERE weather station, 4.5 km away at 48 m; the village itself is at 120 m. ^[12]

The village sits 72 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[12]

An average of 1,127 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 8.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at CAZALIS, 3.1 km away at 105 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
