Vitality score
Vitality score 52/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 95 % of the 17,769 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 31 days a year at or above 30 °C and 28 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the BAHUS FLETON weather station, 5.4 km away at 164 m; the village itself is at 98 m. [11]
The village sits 66 m below 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 14 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at URGONS, 7.7 km away at 146 m, over 30 summers. [11]
An average of 1,034 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 8.1 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at BAHUS FLETON, 5.4 km away at 164 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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 Eugénie-les-Bains'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.
