Vitality score
Vitality score 16/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 37 % of the 16,802 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
An average of 2 days a year at or above 30 °C and 27 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the PONT-HEBERT weather station, 4 km away at 58 m; the village itself is at 39 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at CERISY LA SALLE, 17.3 km away at 134 m, over 21 summers. [11]
That station sits 95 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 971 mm of rain a year, spread over 147 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at PONT-HEBERT, 4 km away at 58 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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 Rampan'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.
