Vitality score
Vitality score 38.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 19 % of the 7,067 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 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 31 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the COULOUVRAY-BOISBENATRE weather station, 14.8 km away at 268 m; the village itself is at 215 m. [11]
The village sits 53 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at BRECEY, 18.2 km away at 63 m, over 15 summers. [11]
That station sits 152 m below 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 1,221 mm of rain a year, spread over 157 days — about 7.8 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at ST-CLEMENT, 6.3 km away at 269 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [6]

…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 Sourdeval'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.
