Vitality score

Vitality score 41.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 55 % of the 12,060 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 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 61 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

An average of 673 mm of rain a year, spread over 115 days — about 5.9 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at BAULE, 3.2 km away at 100 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]
