Vitality score

Vitality score 28/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 40 % of the 16,415 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 34.2

Days at or below 0 °C 41.4

Muggy days a summer 15.4▸

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 34 days a year at or above 30 °C and 41 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the AIRE MESTADE weather station, 6.2 km away at 79 m; the village itself is at 92 m. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 15 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at URGONS, 13 km away at 146 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 54 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 891 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at AIRE MESTADE, 6.2 km away at 79 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 Duhort-Bachen'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.
