Vitality score

Vitality score 49.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 86 % of the 14,834 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.

An average of 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 60 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Humidity measured at ROMORANTIN, 16 km away at 83 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

An average of 722 mm of rain a year, spread over 116 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[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 Chémery'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.
