Vitality score
Vitality score 62.1/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)).
Better served than 82 % of the 3,323 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.
