Vitality score

Vitality score 28.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 27 % of the 14,576 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

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 70 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the COULLONS weather station, 14.6 km away at 156 m; the village itself is at 156 m. [12]

An average of 742 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 6 mm on a day it rains. [12]
