Vitality score

Vitality score 12.5/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 43 % of the 10,940 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.

Where this sits nationally

An average of 30 days a year at or above 30 °C and 33 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the BAHUS FLETON weather station, 9.1 km away at 164 m; the village itself is at 192 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 14 days a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at URGONS, 14.1 km away at 146 m, over 30 summers. [10]

An average of 1,034 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 8.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at BAHUS FLETON, 9.1 km away at 164 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Sarron'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.
