Vitality score

Vitality score 32.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 51 % of the 15,654 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

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 49 days a year at or above 30 °C and 40 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the AIGUILLON weather station, 10.2 km away at 32 m; the village itself is at 40 m. [12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. [12]

Humidity measured at BOURRAN-INRAE, 10.7 km away at 55 m, over 22 summers. [12]

An average of 750 mm of rain a year, spread over 116 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. [12]

Rainfall measured at BRUCH, 4.6 km away at 38 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

…and in much the same climate

The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Clermont-Dessous's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
