Vitality score

Vitality score 45.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 89 % of the 17,296 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.

Climate

An average of 34 days a year at or above 30 °C and 50 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the ANGLARS weather station, 13.5 km away at 104 m; the village itself is at 212 m. ^[12]

The village sits 108 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 8 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at ANGLARS, 13.5 km away at 104 m, over 15 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 108 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 861 mm of rain a year, spread over 117 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at PUY-L'EVEQUE, 9.2 km away at 112 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
