Vitality score 27.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 56 % of the 17,939 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.

An average of 778 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. [12]
