Vitality score

Vitality score 11.7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 29 % of the 13,841 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 3 days a year at or above 30 °C and 20 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the CERISY LA SALLE weather station, 11.6 km away at 134 m; the village itself is at 149 m. [9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [9]

Humidity measured at CERISY LA SALLE, 11.6 km away at 134 m, over 21 summers. [9]

…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 Maupertuis'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.
